No, in the Eliminator, they're not segregated, but in class, they are. You can't win SS/AH (CLASS) with a Ford or a Chevy.
I think their case is an anomaly; no one ever built a car in their class that could outrun them. Only makes sense to put them in their own class, for that reason, alone.
That may not be the case with the Mustangs; the Dodges are knocking on their door, and should improve with some track time. Who knows what the supercharged LS-Corvette motor that is going (supposedly) into the 2011 Z-28, will run....
I think all these cars could fit into a 7-pound AAA/S class without having to make a separate class just for certain cars. A shootout might be forthcoming, yes, but that's show-biz; a whole different deal.
Just my 2-cents, again...

I'd say 6 pounds would be closer, but then you would have to deal with the problem of 9" tires going low 9s. They just need to go to super stock in my opinion.
