How crazy would it be.....

This was an imaginary thread but how crazy would it be if they allowed me to just race my car at the actual advertised (I have the original 1984 Dodge Daytona Dealer Sales Brochure listing the real life specs of all 3 1984 Editions), at the actual 99HP/2,426 lbs., plus 170 driver or total Min. Wt. of 2,596, instead of 2,795 lbs currently. I would attempt DF/S again. (Somebody lied on actual shipping weights originally by a little to get a little on each car shipped monetarily, and hp output was assigned on engine family (that does not really compare in reality), instead of actual indiv. combo historical real performance
numbers. (They corrected it once on the HP side, then put 6.5 percent back on before I returned). Still chasing my tail, but I will get there in spite of bad math and hurdles. (6 total runs historically in 1995, and in 2023 tell me the possibility exists). But, I have never raced it at either its true advertised weight or horsepower, or both.

Now that would be crazy good.
