Re: New cars, old cars and horsepower ratings.
It isn't all new cars! Sure many do have a advantage, but what other car do you know than the 345 challenger who has gotten more HP in a shorter time. So the AFHS works to a point. And in time, newer technology logically should have an edge.
But putting Supercharged cars against naturally aspirated cars is simply bad for everybody except the Companies who field those cars (now Ford and GM) and what do you think will happen now for them?
Now that Ford doesn't own the playground any more, they will both start taking HP hits.
Will that level the field? No, but the field was never level for very long. And expecting/hoping that it will eventually balance out is wasted expectations.
It all about the Benjamins. Money talks, and fair racing walks. If all three companies were pouring in the same amout into the NHRA, there might be some level of fairness...Or maybe not.
Right now, it is, what it is.
