This thread reminds me of a thread on Outlaw 10.5. Its seems that some of you are getting all caught up in the name Stock being in the class name just as some get caught up in Outlaw of 10.5. They seem to think that outlaw can only mean no rules when definitions can be manipulated to anyone's interpretation. Just because Stock is in the class, doesn't mean that each car has to be the purest of stock as an OEM car fresh out of the factory. If it makes you feel better, call it Pro Car. Also, you guys have no eyes at all if you can't clearly tell the difference between the three cars being run. The GXP's look nothing like the Avengers or the Mustangs. Pro Mods(Camaro Mod) are more copycats than Pro Stock.


In terms of this thread and my opinion on where I believe Pro Stock should be.
I believe they should keep some spec wheelbase, 2500 or 2600lbf minimum weight, the same 500ci engines, clutch, front clip must have all factory equipment(grills, lights, openings e.t.c) and be within 1 inch of stock body dimensions, rest of body must remain within 1inch of stock dimensions. At the beginning of each racing season, each body will be tested in the windtunnel to determine the aerodynamic drag at max speed. Weight penalties will be assessed to ensure each body style can perform equally with another at speed. This will ensure no performance advantage for any body style since we know the OEM manufacturers didn't build the car for performance on the track. This would be a much more realistic transition and wouldn't slow them down as much. No need to put fuel injection on here yet because its probably on its way.
