Cobra Jet article in NY Times

I just looked at the national records for AA/S, A/S, B/S, C/S, AA/SA, A/SA, B/SA, and C/SA. All those classes that had a record were a 67-69 Chevy or Ford. Not an '08 CJ or any Hemi in the bunch.

No bashing here!!! Just stating facts as Mr. Calvert( and he of all people) knows the true potential of this combo. 427/425 chev 600hp, the new CJ Well read the quote again.

"Racing-specific equipment that has been added includes a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 rated at 425 horsepower. Mr. Calvert said he could squeeze 700 out of it “with just a few simple tune-up tricks.” It also comes with a 6-speed manual transmission (an automatic is optional), an explosion-proof clutch housing and racing brakes

If NHRA and Ford wanted these cars to play in Stock then put them in a class of there own and let the manufacturers show all who can build the baddest stocker of all!

if anyone with an old comb wanted to jump in with them they would have that option!!

Absolutely no sour grapes here just my 2 cents worth
