I still don't understand the NHRA logic on that one?????
The 69 Impala Sport hardtop is rated at 275HP while the wagon is rated at 263HP. They both have the same frontal area (drag) so the only difference is weight.
The 69 Chevelle also has the sedan and station wagon at different horsepower..
The different ratings for a Camaro vs an Impala or a Chevelle make sense because of the difference in drag.
I'm confused

Bob, one of the determining factors is wheelbase. Impala wagon has longer wheelbase than Impala hardtop.
69 Chevelle 2door has shorter wheelbase than 4 door sedan and wagon.
69 Camaro has shorter wheelbase than Nova.
Ya can't make this stuff up!
