Default Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com

If FWD GT cars have an advantage over other GT cars, it doesn't make sense to me that only certain FWD conversion cars (ones that happen to hit the AHFS) incur any changes. If there's an inherent advantage, wouldn't it make more sense to have an across-the-board weight adjustment on all FWD GT combinations? While one car may run more *efficiently* than another, an engine doesn't magically produce more actual horsepower when its sitting in one engine bay vs another. (with the exception of fresh-air systems)

It just seems like everything thing they do makes the system more cumbersome, not less so.

One unintended consequence is that they just made it even less likely that my underfactored combination will get HP.
