My wife's 2007 Escalade is equipped with the 6.2 (376) and it is rated 403 by GM. Ten years of development, DPI, etc. and it lost 38 HP, amazing.

Jimmy, nhra stopped being a legitimate sanctioning organization years ago. They will take money from any source and compromise their membership to accommodate that money source. Chevrolet is a TV sponsor and will get what ever it wants. Each year the product/service that nhra offers ALL racers loses value while the cartel in Glendora feeds at the trough.

So you are saying that all of the pre 2007 HP numbers submitted by the OEM's were right?

Why wouldn't they be? I doubt they would misrepresent the specs on the vehicle as it could get them in legal trouble with the consumers.

It is an absolute documented fact that a lot of the combinations in the sixties were underated.

According to Chevrolet, the showroom cars in NHRA racing were based off the CRC or Competition Racing Chasses (body in white) the shipping weight (3150) was based on a 'lighter" showroom engine vs the Copo (3195). Based on our CRC based on Copo, to determine the weight, as it is assumed Ford and Dodge used their Cobra Jet and Drag Pak when determining Showroom shipping weights.

That's pretty good.

Now I'm sure we all agree that is a good way to determine the shipping weight. I mean we are only talking 500 lbs or so. No big deal. Sherman, Boudreau, Cummins & Cummins (sound like lawyers) Hill, Shaul, and all the others agree with this so it's OK? What yall think/

The boat sailed on this way before the 2015 Camaro was submitted.

That was done so that the cars would be cheaper to insure at the time. It wasn't done so they could run a mile under the index and beat-up on the older cars.

But a lot of them did. And a lot still can.
