New FWD weight breaks!

[rseibenick]

New FWD weight classes
AF/S 13.00 to 15.99 13.85 Index
BF/S 16.00 to 18.99 14.65 Index
CF/S 19.00 to 21.99 15.60 Index
DF/S 22.00 to 24.99 too be determined
EF/S 25.00 or more 17.45
That is what I think it is.
Just tightened up the spread between the old 19 and 25 lbs.
instead of adding any new classes.

Omg !! Bubski says your funniest ever !! The COPO’s n the like have sold maybe 1or 2 cars to the motoring public!! Bubski wishes that a time machine was built to get few more Shelby FWD chargers before the scrap man got them !! Bubski gotta go n fit 459 intakes to his 5* + included angle stocker heads !!

As far as I can recall, Chevy's closest copo style car was the Supercharged Cobalt from the late 2000's, and Dodge countered with their Neon SRT-4. I am kind of surprised no-one made one of them into a Stock Eliminator car (they're part of the reason AAF/S was created), but I wouldn't even consider doing it, because they only came with 5spds, and I think it's easier to be consistent with an automatic. It would be nice to have a stocker that could be closer to the V8's, but I like my Turbo 125 too much to pass up for one of those.

Our stock ecotec dirt Cavalier would run faster lap times than the V8 hobby stock cars. Weight was the reason. What is the weight penalty for running stick verses and auto in the fwd classes? Tom

They make power for sure. When I ran the shop building off road/Baja engines, we built a few and was impressed with the power you can achieve.

Tom, the weight difference is 100lbs to the stick over the auto. Jim

The "new" DF/S index is posted. 16.50?
I guess that I'd better get working on Dwight's site and figure out my next victim.

I'm glad to see that and that I also saw the 15.60 yesterday for CF/S, because I had reason to be concerned about it, and did some negotiating with my tech director for it. Now to try and get the funds together to have some headers made for it, so I can one of these years make it worth my while to travel nearly 2k miles to run Indy (and not just be there for two qualifying runs and 1st round of class)!

Dear Sir,
Look closer at the Cobalt SS supercharged 2007 NHRA specs or even better, go to the classracerinfo website. You will find that the LSJ engine option with automatic transmission is accepted.
I had a chance to work on blower engine a couple of year before and after a lot of reseach on this car, I can tell you that the're a lot, a lot of potential with this particuliar set-up for a AAF/S car...
Keep on,
Charles Stewart
