The new CJ is a factory built race car. The kind of car that nhra routinely placed in Factory Experimental when the OEMs were playing before.

The 40 year old cars would no longer be the top dogs if nhra started a new factory Experimental class.

The CJ discussion centers around Horsepower and the abuse of the classification system by nhra. nhra knows what is going on here but they are too hard up to be an honest power broker in this deal. And the Ford engineers think they need to make twice the amount of rated horsepower to dominate. They told me that at SEMA.

A good multiplier for the 396 and 427 motors is 1.45 times the rated Horsepower, by comparison, the new CJ is making use of an 1.8 multiplier. Numbers do not lie. That's the good thing about drag racing, the numbers for this car, will continue to "amaze" the drag racing world and in turn it will prove our point about where it really belongs.
