If my feeble calculations are close to correct, one more hit like this one will bring the 2008 cars to the brink of extinction in Stock. It appears that this will put them at about 453 horsepower and at a break of 7.14. When they reach 6.99 horsepower per pound, we'll find out how serious NHRA is about leveling the playing field. Of course, there's always the option available to the Competition Committee to hit them with an index penalty instead of a horsepower adjustment the way they have done in the case of the SS/AH cars. Another .15 on the index of A/S would be a piece of cake for the '08 Mustangs.
