GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show

I agree..
First of all when you look back on the cars from 69-70 that were factory backed then.. were cars right off the assembly line. They were not custom built as RACE CARS. The motors were the same way. So when you saw that car win, you could go buy that exact package at the dealer the next day.. hence win on sunday, sell on monday. All of these cars had VIN numbers, and it was STOCK.. not STOCK appearing. I want to say if I am correct that my dads car (70 olds) was sent just a conversion kit (hood and bumpers) to turn it into a 71 and then again into a 72 package. These cars only had the advantage on the track was because of parts availabilty, and financial backing. This was the only advantage they had. The cars that are rolling off now should in my opinion be listed in super stock if they are rolling off the line with no VIN numbers because they are built for race application... or even "factory experimental".... BUT.. regaurdless.. they all need K&N FIlters!!!!
GO Team K&N!!!

Trust me when I say know one loves this sport more than myself, but these cars should really be in there own class. I really want to get my 67 camaro stocker back out, not sure why I should even be considering it with ford and chevy's new crate motors. If I do I believe the only way possible is to put a stick in it to stay away from them.
