My point about running a business was how much more are they going to let slide and what's the breaking point before enough racers tell them to go ***** in their hat and just park their cars?
What's your take on this Mr Dgal?
BTW that should be wringer,not ringer.:>):>)

There were several thousand LT1 Firebirds that have been registered with DMVs all across the country. How many 1998, I have only seen one myself, Bernie makes two. I dunno.

The NHRA is far from perfect, but trying to compare the 1998 LT1 to the current Drag Pack/Cobra Jet while holding onto a slippery slope angle is weak. The LT1s existed, were registered, had their own class (FI/FIA), and there was zero performance advantage.

I think a 1998 LT1 can hook on your slope.
