Excuse me for being out of touch when I asked if a car that rated at 412 and has a weight of 3670 pounds from the factory is going to be available in the classification guide without some massaging so the general public with $100,000 sitting around can be #1 and pretend like they have a big ****.
Mostly agree, don't think it would get to the point that it would "run well", but it could run in B. I have one with an automatic. Right now it is .12 over the B/SA index. It would be 100% stock legal if I took the drag radials off and put slicks on. It is overweight but would start to get close just with all of that 3" exhaust pulled off it. I haven't even put headers on it. It has never even had a valve cover off. I'd guess it might be reasonable to get one to .50 under, may get tough beyond that though. If the Boss ends up in A, I think that would be the better car.
