turned into a Super Stock GT?

I hope NEVER...

With a new man in power in Washington, the oil is flowing again.....not a bad thing. Long live the internal combustion engine!

Well, first an OE would have to submit one to get it into the guide.....

MAURICE BLENDHEIM · 11-15-2024, 04:28 PM

Hopefully Never. EV People need to play in a different park, far away from Stock & Super Stock and Comp too... JMHO.

Don't know if it would be legal, but a Tesla in Super Stock GT with a 632 would be pretty cool.

If it were a true GT car in super stock it would not be legal with a Chevrolet engine. GT does not allow crossing over engines from different manufacturers. IE. ford with a chevy engine. So unless they start a different class then we wont see them for a long time. I have heard that some racetracks are banning the EVs from running at their tracks.

I understand cars need to be in the guide for Stock and regular Super Stock and the engine combo needs to be listed in a car in the guide for GT. But since they no longer use shipping weights for GT, does a GT body need to be in the guide? And I'm not advocating for a GT conversion of an EV.

The reason this will never happen is look at the shipping weights of EVs. Most of them would have to be 4000-6000 pounds. This does not hurt my feelings in any way.

Well, for the most part, it was just a joke. A Chevy Bolt parked next to me and I noticed how aerodynamic it is. I thought maybe LS engine. The biggest problem I see is no hood scoop and no air through the grille. Maybe it could be used as a Modified car with a hoodscoop. I am in now way promoting them, but I think racing one would get the greenies up in arms!
