Jeff,

I think there are also a few differences between what can be done to a car as well. They are slight-a car built to run in modified can run in comp, but it not always the case that a super modified comp car can go the other way without some modifications.

As for the cost differences, those new GT and modified superstockers that are front wheel conversions probably cost a lot more to build than my Bantum altered did, but the difference between a comp V-8 and a SS V-8 is probably in the cost of the motor. But I bet you can build a comp V-8 dragster for a lower cost than a SS V-8 modified car, including the motor. The lowest cost comp cars are the four cylinder cars, but for that is in part because the racers build their own motors and have to be prepared to fabricate parts on their own. I know that the Aragonas and the Massels and my partner Al Ackerman, to name a few, are just very creative and very smart.

Depending on how far you want to run under the index would determine your combination. Fletcher ran 9.30's mostly in the past with his 69 in SS/AS and still won. A state of the art car could easily run either Comp or SS. We are talking 125K for the chassis alone. In SS you really don't need it to win.
