3800 lb big air grabbing chevelle (or worse- some big wagon) running SS. Racer takes that motor combo and puts in GT car (cavalier?). Definite advantage for the more aerodynamic cavalier.
Thus, GT cars were given a separate HP from SS cars. If a GT car goes fast, it should not effect the SS cars (only SS cars going fast should hit both HP'er)
GT HP should NEVER have hp lower than the SS same combo.
But you are right about one thing.. NHRA probably won't change it... BUT they should.

Tom, what about a car that can claim SS and GT with the same engine, same body. The LT1 is 295 in GT and 279 in SS same body same engine? L98 Camaro's do the same thing, can run both classes with same car and engine. Either they both get hit or they stay separate. The problem is a car that has the correct engine in it should have not been allowed to run GT, but that bridge has been burnt down long ago.
