In stk and ss the people that spend big money run fast, it been that way for a long time. yes it was that way before these new cars some of you just have a bad memorie.

And I hate to break it to you but that's bull *****.
I know someone that has over $100,000.00 in a '62 Plymouth and they don't qualify in the top half. Those of us that have these cars are standing on over 40 years of testing and engineering and unless rules allow us to expand the pool of parts we will NOT go any faster.
You can throw a Million dollars at a 427 Camaro and it will NEVER be as fast as a supercharged Mustang.
Have you ever built stocker? Those of us that have built an upper class stocker have done everything legal and quasi-legal over a 40 year period and this is as fast as we can go.......period! There is not an extra 4/10ths to be found no matter the cost!
