Since these new cars have been introduced, they've made leaps and bounds going faster and faster ,there's no telling how much power one of these engines are capable of making. Most all older combos have been wrung out and the HP is close to where it needs to be.
In addition I think that if given an FX designation in Stock, it would be fair to see low HP ratings continue to keep these new cars at the top of the qualifying sheet. As obvious as it is, this is very very important for the manufacturers on their ego system. It wont take but 2 to 3 years to level the playing field, while us old cars don't get our feelings hurt in heads up and class elimination. This simple trade off would send equality and harmony back to to world of Stock Eliminator.
