Also Dick if the GT cars ever get a 7lbs or lighter class they will run out every old muscle car from TOP SS, including the ultra trick, modern AH cars. The only way to keep any appeal is to keep Top SS old Muscle Cars entirely. No GT stuff in Top SS!!!!!

Agree should be 413 cubic inch rated or larger, with a minimum HP rating like 390HP at 6.0. GT/AH should be a separate class. One where all the old hypo engines with higher HP ratings be used. All reasonable aftermarket castings accepted. A Hemi Sebring, Buick Stage II Apollo, Tunnel Port Pontiac 428 Grand AM, Boss 429 Mustang LS7 Camaro, 440 6 PAC Daytona, AMC dual quad Jeep. It would make Super Stock more exciting other than watching cloned combos. I would also venture to say the 7 second barrier would be shattered! (without a turbo).
