Problem with getting too specific with Hp factoring of a particular BODY style. GT versus SS body maybe ok but seems in stock too specific. Hope it doesn't get to paint colors...

I asked about it and was told it was classified by wheelbase. Corvette vs Camaro vs chevelle etc. never got numbers but I gathered that there was a range for short, medium and long wheelbase.

This one is interesting. No one complained when a simple hood change or claiming a different year drastically changed the hp rating on a lot of cars.

Wrong then, wrong now. The rules are used as much as an excuse to not correct blatantly wrong issues as it is to supposedly govern out-of-line combinations. Even when strictly played by the letter of the rules, politics comes to bear. Common sense plays no part in the system.

And guys still argue against a Lb/CU inch class where fixed rules prevent such issues.
I honestly believe the excitement of finding a bogus motor combination is as much fun as racing for some.. Problem is the upset when another MORE bogus car shows up or NHRA factors your motor and you are stuck with a Dog...again..

Exactly, once your combo has been factored or worse yet, eliminated, it's time to change. I switched to lbs/cu in back in 1990 (SS/A to SS/AM) and never looked back. It's a much happier place to live.
