Not sure if it took them 18 months to ship it or if NHRA hadn't gotten around to putting it in the guide but it's nice to see it there now.

Jake Sealey was looking at running it as a SS/GT combo but I think he went 5.4L instead. I know Drew Skillman had been asking about it as well for a Stocker but that was years ago. I had a paper to build a one-off 2016 CJ with Ecoboost with giant turbo and ultra lighweight. I figured an 8.9 ET 4-banger showcar at SEMA /PRI would grab lots of attention.

I'm guessing you guys figured it out but 264 is 85% of 310. That was the agreement NHRA made for these new cars. Unfortunately they would not go back and alter the 2011-2014 Mustang GT's from 385hp.

And regarding IRS I had many conversations with NHRA tech about that. My opinion was that because all new muscle cars have IRS they should be required for street car stockers and the package cars would still be submitted and require approval for FS classes. I agree that a late model VIN'd Stocker should not get a stick axle conversion.
It looks like your talk with NHRA on the newer cars had some effect after all Jesse.

Too bad the OBD II cars could not get a break, but at least all the newer cars entering the classification guide from now on will get the 85/85 ratings
