Just trying to better understand the conversation.....

Is the complaint that AHFS is not enforced at Indy and the 2015 Camaro will be leaps & bounds faster than other A/SA combinations?

AHFS is enforced at most other events, so there should be no problem or complaint if everyone thinks AHFS is effective. Does anyone think AHFS is not effective? If yes, why do you think so?

If neither of those are the problem, is it the horsepower rating? Not sure why or how that can be a problem, considering the fact that most 1960's - 1970's muscle cars had advertised horsepower ratings that in some cases were 100 or more HP lower than actual HP on some very popular combinations.

If none of these are the problem, is it because the 2015 Camaro guy didn't "work on it for xx years" to make it fast? If yes, does that mean that all of the existing A/SA cars were worked on by their owners for many years? I tend to doubt that is the case, considering how many engine builders, chassis shops, and speed parts outlets are involved in NHRA Stk/SS.

Maybe I'm missing it altogether, so if there is a problem that does not relate to any of the above or if I am incorrect with those please help me to understand.
