Maybe the AHFS would have put the Mustangs out of stock and made them S/S only. Ford wouldnt have liked that. Any comments?

Put me behind the wheel Ill see what shell do.

SS Only ? I thought they would just keep adding weight to the combo ? No ?

I was there and watched the run. Very strong and the HP is clearly evident down track....... Engine is very quiet and docile sounding coming down the return road. No where near as efficient at getting down the track as most wrung out manual trans Stockers.

After the combo reaches the maximum alowable ballisted wt added over the factory shipping wt. which in NHRA's case is 7.5 lb per HP (AA/S) the combo becomes a S/S only car classed car until the same thing happens at 6.0 lbs per HP (SS/A) in S/S. By then NASA would be looking at it for a booster in then defunct shuttle program. It wouldnt be legal to run the Mustangs at say....around 5000 plus lbs not including the driver wearing an SFI space suit. lol.
