An argument for this would be that a stick shift car can run an aftermarket transmission.

An argument against would be that it would dilute Stock/SS one more time.

I'm interest to see your responses.

Instead of diluting it that way why not just separate the stick and auto classes like they should have done in the beginning.

My personal interest in this would be my Cobra Jet and Drag Pak projects. I look at what's out there for them and it's nothing compared to what I can get for my GM cars.

There's a perfectly good example why the Cobra Jets, Drag Paks and COPOS shouldn't have been put in Stock in the first place. GM trans in Fords and Dodges galore. Should have been S/S only. I know...I know..that horse is long out of the barn and running loose.

Already allowed in SS, and aside from some optimum gear ratio choices, it would slow a lot of Stock cars down with a 9"!

It's unfortunate Ford and Chryslers don't have a SFI approved case. Then again I think stocker cars should have a vin number too. If safety is the issue. Better safe than sorry. The new cars have some serious power over older muscle cars with some combinations available. Maybe like all safety rules. It would come into play when certain E.T and speed is a factor.

Wasn't the rule originally that 500 had to be built to run stock and 50 to run super stock?
