Re: Another bogus new car in the guide!
This just another buy a new car and welcome to the top of the qualifying sheet. When is NHRA going to put the true HP that needs to be put on these cars? Even my 6.2 has 460 HP from the factory, bone stock,11.61 @ 121 mph. Not a race car!

Re: Another bogus new car in the guide!
How does this happen? No transparency on getting these cars in the guide at these low hp ratings and 700lb less than the factory shipping weight. The Challenger is just as bad. Who decides this, who's responsible? We need to ask these questions.

Then NHRA reviews it and what you see in the classification guide is the end result.

Re: Another bogus new car in the guide!
As I noticed the pic posted in the other thread about this, I was thinking GM will probably sell quite a few of the BIW kits along with the SS trim. ( for those not wanting to run in the FS classes)

No kits. You get this and then you go to work.

Re: Another bogus new car in the guide!
For NHRA, it is all about getting "new blood" in our sport and increasing manufacturer involvement. We "baby boomers" with the old muscle cars are not the future...but we have some great memories.
