They're all FX cars, by definition (Super Stockers)

Your initial post and the thread title says FX, So what is the actual discussion? FX cars, FS, or FSS?
As someone who’s family owns one of each of the manufacturers, the CJ’s directly from Ford use DBW, and they are the only versions that do.

BC, That would be all the non- showroom, non- emissions certified, no VIN, factory experimental cars that run in Stock Eliminator ;-)

Thanks for that info
