I will remind you that Chevrolet didn't build any third generation Corvettes with solid rear ends. Of course you know that. Just like I know that I am wasting my time replying to your BS.
There is nothing bogus about the new combinations. My COPO is no more cutting edge than a 1969 COPO was in it's day.
As far as the horse power goes, it is no different today than it has ever been. No manufacturer wants their new combinations on the bottom of the ladder. It's funny that we never see you crying over some "Dime Rocket" combination that makes a joke out of qualifying. By your logic, that guy is pure evil.
It also amazes me that you are such a big man on the key board. You weren't nearly so big with your mouth when I came over to see you at Gainesville a few years ago. I, for one, have never been out to get you or any other guy driving an old car. I am however getting tired of your troll like ways.

Now look at you. I'm away for three days and you are all bad a**!
Lets start with the big mouth part first. You didn't come over to me at Gainesville. We were in the lanes getting ready to run class and we had a candid conversation about the way we felt about these cars with no vitriol from either one of us. You certainly didn't have your little chest all pumped out at the time and I'm surprised to read your creative account of our discussion. As I remember our race didn't go so well for you.
The solid rear ends were allowed in Corvettes because as an axle ripped through the fiberglass floor or a Corvette while racing and destroyed a racers arm. So, yes safety is important.
I like the dime rockets, they were production cars and don't represent institutional cheating by the OEM's.
On the other hand you represent all that is bad about this sport. Buying your way in with a bogus car and trying to blow smoke about it when we all know the truth. The rules do not have to change when a system is corrupted by the OEM's.
I'll be at Indy. Maybe we can visit in the lanes again.
