Be extremely careful what you wish for. I seriously doubt that you'd love the next "benevolent dictator" you'd get from NHRA. I'm not sure anyone likes the one we have now, or any of his "deputies".

Farmer......if only, at least with him in charge you knew where you stood. It was right or you were out. His way or the highway and there were no if and or buts

The biggest problem with these cars is that the stock control arms swing in the wrong direction. The factory supplied this design. I can't see where its any better than what's under an earlier Corvette.

Take Care,

NHRA requires that the stock shock and spring mounts on the body must be used for an independent suspension conversion to solid axle in Stock. The Challenger uses these with specific locations for the upper and lower control arm mounting holes on the body and axle ends. The rear suspension layout is based on a production Chrysler vehicle
The Corvette has the odd spring setup to meet these requirements.
