98s are different from 97s because in 98 GM used a different enigne and diffrent body work.
Alan, I would like to see one in the real world. Please post a picture of a street F-body ('98) with a factory LT1 or scan and show us where it was available in GM literature.
Greg what rule did NHRAchange?

Dean, there is no difference other than maybe a small cosmetic difference in the 97 and 98 Firebirds. I don't know why NHRA let the 98's run the LT1 but performance wise there is no difference. I know a lot of the guys claimed 98 so they could get contingency money from GM. You could walk in any Chevrolet or Pontiac dealer and buy one of these cars and drive it home.
The rule that got changed was to allow special runs of 50 cars that need not be street legal or available to the public to be allowed in Stock eliminator. That was not in the rule book until 2007 or 2008. WTF do you mean grandstanding? All I'm doing is pointing out facts. The specs don't lie.
