I always felt (and have heard that in some Divisions it does) that any car that gets automatic HP for -1.200 or more should be torn down automatically to insure all is accurate.
Pretty sure Fred's run got the E-body hit so there was a long period before the combo got back on parity with the other "traditional" A cars...agree with you guys 1000%
