Default Re: Hope I do not regret this post and I hope it is taken as just an honest question.

If you are talking about the new cars being put into the classes then

no, yes, and no in my opinion!

These new cas are neat but if NHRA was going to allow such an obscene HP factor on all the engine combos then they should be put into a separate class until it gets sorted out! Greg Hill posted on another thread that the LS1 (which everyone likes point to as how unfair it was back when it came out) started at 305. Now it is rated at 364 and seems to be in line with most cars in its class. When the masses came out against these cars ( as i did too) NHRA added an FI class which took care of the problem until the HP factor caught up!

In the LS1 case there was a 60 HP advantage! The HP factors on these engines coming out now are probably close to 150 HP short! The factoring system will NEVER catch up to these cars!!!!

Dont blame the racer blame NHRA
