You can change the transmission and rear end per Nhra Stock Rules. Change the Hood and Grille to the Cobra Jet items and in the case of the Shelby I think you have to change the Facia and maybe a couple of things in the engine on all of them but you could have your own version of the Cobra Jet and they are actually cars available to the general public. How many of the current older cars running in stock actually started out as the actual car they are being raced as? To my knowledge NHRA has not ever checked the vin numbers to see if the car being raced was as it was produced friom the factory. The same thing can be done with the Drag Pak Challengers. Everyone that thinks you have to have an actual Cobra Jet or Drag Pak car to race a Cobra Jet or Drag Pak Challenger is blowing smoke up everyones rear.

OK,you debunked that arguement.Hows about the disparity in the "true" HP and the
NHRA "factored" HP on these cars?
