If it is...STOCK just became a big "f...ing" joke with the CJ's and this..with this in mind GM could get away with anything should they decide to do something to put the nail in the coffin! With current classes you need ratings 390-430 hp to get in the classguide for stock..and they will get it after doing whats "needed" with NHRA!

Only ONE throttle body ? Looks like 220 HP should do it.......LOL...Maybe 255 HP with two T-bodies. And blowers on the Fords. What a JOKE stock has become.

I think turning my i/sa camaro into a single turbo 10.5 car would be more stock than these new bull**** cars !!!! LOL They can run B/S!!!! HEHEHEHE

Right now I cant see the pictures because Im at work, but what do you guys want, to go back in time??? The Cobra Jet is what it is and so is the Challenger. New technology. This is the same thing they did back in the 60's. History is just repeating itself.

in 1970 you could go to the dealer and buy a 426 hemi challenger, ins.and plates away you go,now these new cars ,the drag pak chall.cannot be street driven and is not avalible after a certain quota,has been met.dodge had the factory race car in s/s,the lightened front end car with the hemi ,it just looks to modified to run as a stock elim. car.some will agree and disagree,

I personally believe that BOTH the Supercharged Mustang and the new Challengers belong in S/S or thier own class....NOT in stock eliminator. The rule book should be revised to say a larger number (min 100 and documented) should be produced and avaliable to the general public to who anyone who can afford them and want one. They dont have to be street legal due to all of the Govt. BS thats required to pass EPA and safety regulations today but no special runs of such small amounts produced. My 1 cent worth
