Default Re: Why Does Al Cordas COPO Run B/SA instead of FS Class

Why does it sound like Stock ain't so Stock ?

As Billy said, welcome to the new stock eliminator. You'll see more and more of these factory race cars in classes AA through V stock as more and more showroom engine combos are approved. Still waiting to see the first EcoBoost Cobra Jet !!
My guess is that tech will be questioning the width of the rear end of a 2016 CJ vs. a 2015 EB Mustang if someone shows up with a former CJ turned into a EB look alike.

The CJ is much narrower ( backing plate to backing plate...so to speak) than a EB

The CJ/Drag Pak/COPO IRS replacement spec. is legal. I think that the late model Corvettes were the first to get a "pass" on the backing plate deal.
