2012 Race Camaro

[aspen7709]

I personally saw this abomination at SEMA this past week and had a lengthy discussion with the reps from the performance and engineering dept. The car HAS a 9 inch in it and I asked does that mean Chevelles and old camaros get one? His reply was NO those are exclusive to the new cars. If we have a beef with it we are to take it up with NHRA. These cars are " NOT HIS PROBLEM" If we dont wanna get beat by them,buy one. They are purposely building these ringers to win. Suggested classes listed with the car were AA/ for the supercharged and A/ for the non. He also said that NO MONEY has changed hands between GM and NHRA to allow them in. The car is basically a superstock car let in to convince us to buy new cars. I also saw the V-10 apart with its CNC'd throttle body and parts. What a joke.

...but if you want to race your real 2010-11 Camaro you bought to drive on the street and someday decide to set it up for Stock class, you will not be allowed to race those cars in Stock.

Why? Because all the new "real cars" the public buys and drives on the street are not in the NHRA classguide and probably never will be.

That does not say much for the future of Stock Eliminator.

The 2010 Camaro is in the guide. It is in the wrong class (which is a whole other issue), but it is in the guide.

funny, a friend of mine talked to them as well about the same issues and got a very different response than "not his problem".
