Plain and simple. It's a factory race car. All the best parts Ford and Mopar could muster up are in these cars. Yeah it's cool and I am glad they did however in MY opinion they do not belong in stock. Are they going to let the old Hemi Dart/Cudas in stock? That was a factory race car. Even in SS they will be untouchable for quite some time. Guess we gave up the right to an opinion or vote with NHRA long ago......

A whole lot of racers just stuck their heads in the sand LOL There would be a bunch of mad racers if NHRA checked vin numbers. And most of them would not be DP's or CJ's

People here are still complaining about the 98 LT-1 F body deal, and that was twelve years ago. All that was, at worst, was a 97 model production and emissions certified street engine in a 98 model body. There was zero performance advantage in the "swap". If GM were to let someone smart into the their parts bin, and GM were to submit the stuff that could be built, the moaning, wailing, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments would be deafening. This place would sound like a herd of long tail cats in a room full of rocking chairs.

Yes, and you and others still compare these new cars to L-88, ZL-1, and L-72 cars, which were street legal which was originally a requirement for Stock Eliminator. The truth is, until the rule was recently rewritten, most people assumed cars had to be street legal production cars to be allowed in Stock Eliminator. And for the most part, that was implied, if not outright stated, in the rule book.

SS/JA and SSDIV, even though I don't have a dog in this fight, I certainly believe to complaints would still be loud and long even if GM threw a ringer in...'ya see, boys, it's the blatant unfairness that rankles most of us.....see Shaul rendered helpless, see Popora selling out, or howzabout Larry Hill having the gonads to make the western swing with a very good A/SA car, and once the stars were aligned for a big Stock Eliminator Victory (perhaps), a misfactored A/SA takes him out
Who's gonna make another circuit with an "at risk" Stocker, or for that matter will Paul Adams or Paquet travel to face the SS/BA Fords.....didn't we all enjoy watching Adams INDY race, and Hill's swing....that's gone baby... What don't you guys get about shafting your existing co-racers? geeze Hey, I love the new cars, and the mfgs support, but put 'em in the correct class...they are FACTORY EXPERIMENTAL......period! |

Super Stock would be a little trickier. I guess you could have the natural extension for them as SS/FXA, SS/FXB, SS/FXC, etc...., but how would you handle the GT classes? That is a tough one to figure out. |

The Cobra Jets have serial number tags where the vin tags are normally located. The 2008 and 2010 bodies are completely different, like the difference between 68 and 69 camaro.
