The circumstances are different Gump. Think about it. The new cars that have ruffled the most feathers, have not been factored yet and as long as everybody runs soft, it will take a little while to level the playing field. I looked at the numbers for some different combinations and incrementals to include DP's and CJ's and it looks to me that the DP and CJ in AA and A can whip anything out there if they want to. I emphasize the "want to" part. The CJ is no doubt capable of low 9's and 8's might be attainable if the track was good and the tuner turned the wick up a little bit. I know that some out there will not like me saying that, but it is my opinion. Underfactored combinations have been around forever. Just not this much. I am not bashing any particular combination, but the newer cars are the worst offenders. If you can win class running against some of these newer combinations, you may been given the win, or your stuff is that good, or your lucky. I won't go any further than that. This problem is not going away any time soon. You either have to accept that winning class is no longer feasible with your combination or continue to cry on deaf ears. The future of Stock doesn't look too good right now. If rumors are true about the Camaro, then there will be one more car that you can add to the underfactored or bogus category.
