Ed, there are four '08 CJ's. Two are sticks and two are autos. All are rated at 425hp.

Thanks Ken.Some of the swollen heads on here cant look past their rage to give a simple answer to a question.I guess on the rated HP it needs to be run as an AA car.I'm kind of sceptical on the rating based on reported times in shake down runs(the eye witness runs not the speculated ones).Let's see what Pomona brings.
Almost forgot.I'm waiting for Jack to relate to me the bogus hp ratings from the AMC cars way back.

Ed,
I think the following racers have the Hajek 08 CJs - Waldo, Stinnet, Ronzello, Calvert, and I think Pond has one of his own. There are several more coming out soon. A handful of them will never race, but most will. And the 2010 CJs will be out soon. I hear the stick guys have their hands full with these cars but the automatics seem to be doing very well.

I think the people who are upset about the new cobra jet believe it is not factored properly. Look at the blueprint specification section for the 2008 Fords and see how it compares to the Rousch 510hp,
then make your own decisions.

Greg.

For years The pontiac combinations have been at a disadvantge (and still are ) with the high HP factor NHRA had on them and all the chevy guys who have always had the advantage with their low HP factor always told the pontiac racers to work harder on their stuff , so now to all the chevy racers who are whinning about the new fords i say to you work harder on your stuff.
