This is getting to be a "dead horse", but I am going to write it again anyway.

In 1968 the Hemi cars were built to run Super Stock. They were built to the current rules and were "state of the art". They were so good that they still lead the pack and have their own class.
Almost every other sixties factory muscle car was built with Stock Eliminator as a consideration. That would include Ram Air Pontiacs, Hemi and Six Pack Mopars, Cobra Jets, W-30's, Stage 1's, etc. Since those "good old days" there have been other factory ringers, but nothing like back then.
Todays new "Package Cars" are an example of what you get when the modern OEM's look at the current rules and build a car. If you guys hadn't accepted all of the enhancements over the last forty years with open arms you wouldn't have this to complain about. You have to face up to the fact that there is very little about Stock Eliminator that is stock any more.
