So if I wanted to run O stock, it doesn't give me any advantage to find a car close to the 15.00 factor versus a car that might be near the bottom with a 15.99 factor. It can all be manipulated with weight, to make up for the differences. Can I assume this is correct? Thanks for all the replies so far.

Just because a car fits a class doesn't mean it can run the numbers for that class. You have to be careful to pick a good combo or a class with few cars. Check out the records and class winners. Or you can find an untried combo thats way underfactored and kick butt. Good luck.

I am looking at a 1994 Mustang GT with an auto. Any thoughts on that, or possible other suggestions?

Agreed, but I might go over to the dark side.

Cool Re: Stock Eliminator car choices

all cars fit two classes perfectly... some may fit more
choose a car that will go 12.00, faster is better
slow cars get **** on by NHRA with every rule change, and the one they will never change the redlight rule

or you could just tear up $25,000 and get someone to come by every 2-3 weeks and kick you in the nuts...same feeling less travel expenses.
