Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
Ian I think you are thinking of the 406ci 401hp galaxie but anyway. I disagree with doing away with the heads up runs in the eliminator. I also disagree with these new cars adding an additional sales numbers to the factory show room cars. I would be different if I could go to Cheby or Mopar or even Ford and buy a CJ with any of the combinations that are racing today. In the 60's when the 406 was kicking but or when the 427's, 428, 396 or 440 etc... where winning on Sunday you really could go to your local dealership and buy that car for the most part. You can't go buy a CJ, DP or COPO and drive it home and race it this weekend. To me they failed in that arena for that reason. Other than that the cars are cool and all but the '13 NA 5.0 are overrated. Just my .02
