Just like Sergeant Friday!! Just the facts! Fact 1. Yes the 392 DP engine is under rated. The street version makes 452 at the rear tires. NHRA rated at 375HP. What a joke. Now for comparison. Fact 2. The Camaro made 370 at the rear tire. NHRA rated 426 HP. I wonder which one is soft? Any ideas???

The new Camaro is rated honestly. Would not make a good race car with those numbers, would it? Lol
That DP would be like 520 at the flywheel. Can you say bogus? Sad deal.

We plan on storing #1, and racing #3. If the other guys who are getting No 1 thru 10 want to post, they can tell you who they are. Some very well known names.

With the HP letters being sumitted and granted HP or being turned down,does anyone have an idea what NHRA looks at when making decisions? I know of one V6 FWD FI combo that`s been given back at least 25 HP in a span of about 6 or 7 years to be rated less than a carburated combo and go from being an uncompetitive car to being .40 under the new indexes and doing nothing to the car? I`ve written letters and got nothing,where some have submitted timeslips from a bracket race and received a HP reduction. Not looking for sympathy,just looking for answers to what NHRA looks at.
