"Roll Control" that one almost made me laugh!

And we haven't even seen what the compression and cam specs are. There's probably some CNC heads on the horizon as well.
I know Mopar tried submitting a V-10 to NHRA previously and NHRA was not interested. My, what a difference a day makes!

There are V-10 Vipers legal in Stock. But I can't imagine this V-10 making the weight break in Stock, especially with the "OEM" "roll control".

Cannot even begin to ponder the the ratings on this motor ! GONNA BE AN INTERESTING WINTER .

I think you are correct Finespline. You mean to tell me they could not put a 2.20, 2.30, 2.00 or even a 1.90 low and second gear combo together for a three speed or even a four speed auto? They have all the other whistles and bells so what is the reasoning for that move? It will be interesting to see where they classifie this thing. NHRA is shoveling more dirt on top of my ride.

I wonder how long it will be before they'll need a sales code or part number for an 8.49 cage and a parachute......

Almost everyone out here has a Chevy or no car. And yes I have a dealership. Think someone made it work for 43 years. My first car was a $1200 used hemi that I had to finance in l970. I worked hard at the shop as I worked hard on my race cars. We fixed our customers cars at the track for years. And I will have a Viper Challenger. Nuff said about that.

It does not matter how hard you've worked or for how long and it doesn't matter if it's a GM or MOPAR or FORD this is wrong. They need there own class or put in superstock with a correct factor!!!!!!. Must be nice to be a BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND. why don't you go run SS/AH, oh that's right hard to run with the top dogs over there just like it was in top stock.

That is way out of line.

im not a class racer but sure as heck would like to be one day and i am 23 years old, but from what i see its going to be impossible unless your filthy rich to field a fun halway competitave super stock car unless you have massive factory backing, big time sponsorship, or one of these insane cars that are factored WAY off base and dont even belong in the classes they have been put in.

on a side not i really have not paid much attention to some of the other classes as in ss/bs and the like but when i got my ND in the mail i couldnt help but wonder 2 things, who the hell races an ant-eater, and 2 why the heck is a COMP ELIMINATOR car racing in superstock!!

this goes back to me being 23 and having a deep interest in stock or super stock but month by month it gets farther out of reach.

even for stock. so unless things change i fer the class may die due to lack of interest from the younget guys like me, i love it when i go to a national event i see the noise makers but then everybdys gets up and leaves and it gives me prime time seating for the best classes around pro stock, stock, SS and comp. but unless things change and cars get put where they belong i think the class, SS, will be in trouble and this is coming form an outsider who actually cares.

nothing like hanging them high & banging gears.

What is a roll controll in a transmision if it is not a trans brake? What is next the delay box that is part of the factory computer so it is ok?
