Explain please...
The only thing against the new cars to almost everybody here is the factors are screwed. Why would a '69 vs. a '010 model matter if the factors are worked out? Hell, you can build a new '69 camaro without a single used part. What am I missing?
If anybody at NHRA had given a damn, (which it seems they didn't) all they had to do was look at a cut-away of a new hemi. It's pretty much what you'd expect to see in a 2 valve Indy motor. The exhaust lifter is nearly horizontal because the cam is so high, the intake ports are pro-stockish. There ain't a lot one would change from a design point if it was meant as a clean-sheet race engine. When it was on the drawing-board, M.Benz had controlling interest in Chrysler AND Ilmor. It's not a big shock to anyone who paid any attention. NHRA obviously did not.
