I think that any NHRA precedent went out the window a few years ago and to think they would apply the same rules to anything said or done pre-2008 is simply a dream. The 425...I mean 430...I mean 440 horsepower L-88 changed factor 13 times before it hit the books and now NHRA's line seems to be "we have to trust the manufacturers horsepower rating" with the new cars. That said, the rulebook is the rulebook circa 2011 and as it reads, I take it to say these cars can just keep adding weight to make 7.50. I'm sure the NHRA has/will make a ruling in this. Today, 4/19/2011, the 2008 Ford Cobra Jet rated at 469 still has a Stock Eliminator factor.

I'm not arguing one way or another but an assumption based on precedent is a mistake to make with all the changes that have and will continue to be made.
