If I remember right, there is a .05 disadvantage for a GT car almost accross the board, but not entirely. That from looking at the weight per hp etc. The motors are the same; must be accepted in SS already, then came the jelly bean cars, then some years ago NHRA asked me to request older cars in SS GT as they had many request. This I did and I guess some of the effect was all the older cars are rwd, hence longer wheel bases, harder to make a set of headers cause the stock steering has to stay in a rwd GT car, and a few other things like that. The factoring rwd/fwd, if I remember right was a proposal from SRAC last year. So now the cars (such as my old Duster) don't get hit if someone with a 360 spikes it with a jelly bean car. Michael, your idea of a weight penalty for the jelly beans has merit, but would you use a percentage as opposed to a set weight? Just asking. Same effect, but the administration could be difficult.
