A full FWD Stocker would be more prudent against speedier cars.
The Muffler rule, IHRA has is right in PS.
My car has Headers, Cats and Mufflers and is driven it to the track.
Not to mention my ears are not ringing at the end of the day.
It also has Air Conditioning and sure refreshing on those hot race days.
The Track and Tech guys on the return road get a kick out of that.
What I like about Pure Stock is the versitility of my car.
It is 100% street legal including emissions.
Can drive it to a car show or compete in Solo II autocross.
Does not need a Roll Bar and uses street gas.
Will run 1/2 second under the index in poor weather.
The car is competitive car, easy to maintain and it wins races.

In addition to Dan's car, which he drives to the IHRA events, ECIRS and my S/SS races in Hagerstown MD (was R/U at one in 2010), Steve Klacik from Aliquippa PA drives his '89 Mustang t othe IHRA events and my races. He was our 2012 Tri-State S/SS Association champ, won two races (drove 200 miles to Hagerstown a few weeks ago and won the $2,000 Lee Sherman Memorial S/SSRace, running low 14.0's and high 13.90's). Also won an IHRA TOC qualifier in 2010 and finished fifth in the world. All at, or neat, 20 mpg gallon with, as Dan said, all the comforts of a typical street car, runs a few tenths under the Index in H/PS. So, there could be a market for such cars.
