Now you want to say it matters if it's a RWD or FWD conversion???
Having been involved in the sport from the inset of GT, (and anyone that was) will remember that in the beginning, the GT cars were considerably slower than the straight SS cars.
Where did the difference come from??
WORK!!!!
These cars were owned and raced by people that worked on their stuff and made it fast.
I suggest the same thing is today with the conversion cars.
Back In the old modified days (yea, I'm old), when you got outrun, you went home and worked on your stuff. No crying on the internet, no emails, and certainly no AHFS.
I suggest the rest go work on their s##t and low and behold, be just as fast.

FJ, no matter how hard you work, a 70' 383 is not going to run as well in a 64 Belvedere as it will in a 2004 Stratus. Many of the current GT factors are based on the potential of an engine combo in a very small late model car, and most are FWD.
