Mustang MPH? - Page 2

I still can't believe the debate is as much about the HP factor than the fact Ford does not build a Mustang with a supercharged 5.4L engine in it. Shelby does and that is a different manufacturer and what Shelby offers is a much heavier car. This Mustang is a factory built race car not sold for public highways and is therefore a factory produced super stocker by every tradition and past example in NHRA history.
But then again I see the "Thunderbolt" 427 / 425 Fairlane is legal for Stock Eliminator. When did that happen? That's another "off highway use" vehicle. But the Hemi Dart / Barracuda & 1969 AMX SS package are still Superstock only classifications.
I'd just like to see some uniformity...
