Are COPO's, CJ's and Drag Packs good for our sport?

I have wrote complete specs for showroom Challengers with stock motors. I think NHRA will implement them next year. Worked on this with Mopar and NHRA. Titles, VIN, and all the stuff.

Jeff, you already know how I feel about this and I hope you succeed in getting this done. Maybe this might shame the other two into doing the same. Hopefully they will eventually include more than just Challengers, Mustangs and Camaros.

This thread has turned out to be more positive then I expected it to be.

LOL

Jeff, I'd like to see what spec's you put together for the "stock" Challengers. I have quite a bit of info that could be helpful.

It is cool to see how fast these cars are going.

That being said I really don't think it's right that the ones running in Stock are faster than 95% of the Super Stock cars. I'm talking ETs in general.

8 second ETs at 150+ in Stock is insane. Cars that fast should be in Super Stock.

WOW Factory Pro Stockers with Tunnel Ram Manifolds..

Running ET's that Jenkins, Sox & Martin, Dick Landy and many others ran back in the day.

And current pro stockers are running times that would have outran fuel cars of old.

Progress..evoulution...whatever you would like to call it.

At one time a 13 sec car was considered fast.

I can't wait to see a 7 sec stocker personally. The 7 sec SuperStockers being the norm is just around the corner.

Yes, these cars are very well put together pieces. Hell think about it without all the threads started with "new cars" this site would be boring lol ! I'd say they are pretty good for the sport lots of publicity and got people talikng about stock eliminator again.!

I 100% agree. I drove a fairly fast SS car once upon a time. I hate to think it'd get blown off by a good number of Stockers today. Ego...
