Since they are so stock why was that a big deal? Probably because we dont like change,and face it that is human nature.

You really are lost as last year's Easter eggs. You don't race Stock Eliminator, and you don't have the slightest idea what Stock Eliminator is all about.
The new cars were never street legal cars, ever, in any shape, form, or fashion. NHRA Stock Eliminator required the original car the combination was based on to be street legal, all the way up until 2008.
Every car we've raced in Stock Eliminator and Super Stock started as a real street legal car as produced by the factory for street use. A 69 Camaro 427/425, a 69 Camaro 350/255, a 69 Camaro 396/375, and a 94 Camaro 350/275. THAT is what Stock Eliminator is all about. If you cannot grasp that concept, you will never understand Stock Eliminator.
