The numbers don't lie. The sole purpose of the 360 in the DPs in 2009 was to give Mopar racers somewhat access to new parts and lower the cost of SS for the SB Mopar. So much for that. I don't think it was broken, but I am not a smart man.

Jeff, there were a few similarly underfactored Cobra Jet combos in GT as well.
And regarding the old cars with new engines, that was never the intent of GT anyway.
All that being said, I wouldn't have cared in the least if the new engines were factored properly, or 'got factored' properly in a reasonable amount of time. Since they were not, and still haven't been, I'm quite glad to see them in their own class.
