You got your way by running these cars in Stock. These cars arrived with a heavy gift factor. I know it is hard for you to understand the way many of us feel since you are coming into Stock with a new car. And as you said you had no interest in Stock before the CJ. The new cars a short term cash cow for nhra and maybe a lot of fun for the folks who can afford them. What happens after you folks are finished playing? What is left?

Like I said earlier, I grew up in the muscle car era and love the old muscle cars. People like fast cars, and there are a lot of older combo's that are fast. There is a lot of innovated people in stock and what they can do with some combo's is very impressive. But does that mean I would ever have the desire to drive a world record holding V6 impala? No, that doesn't interest me. Chuck |

I have no problem with these cars in their own classes, which are basically what AAA, AA, and BB are, but there are still new cars that are insanely under factored in classes with old cars.

You are definitely out of the loop. Maybe you should check the archive here for more information. The Ford engineers made it very clear to me at the 2008 SEMA show that these cars made 800 horsepower and that they were protecting that information from nhra at that time. But nhra staff was soon told about it and yet they still went along with the scam. All this has been discussed before. You should learn more about this problem before jumping into the middle of this conversation with little or no knowledge about the subject.

The facts are that these are not real cars. They don't have vin numbers and the motors are all made up bs from their high performance catalogs or somebody else's catalog. To go along with that they got horsepower ratings that were so soft that anyone with half a brain knew were bogus. So you guys thump your chest about how fast you are but let's see you take a 396-375 or an old cobra jet or a 440 6 pack car and run a second under, then you will have something to brag about.

8 seconds in the quarter mile 8 seconds !!!!! How can anyone even get on here and say these are stock eliminator cars. I love seeing the new cars at the track. But it's just not right. Wish they had figured out something a little better than we have now. I agree with Mike Carr. Buy on Saturday and race on Sunday. Take a look at the 69 427/425 hp motor. Now look at the new copo. 427/425 If you guys don't have at least 100 hp over the 69 when your done. I would find a new engine shop. And to compare the advantage these cars have to the older days when a big advantage was a tenth. Is a joke. I quess if you tell yourselves that long enough at least you'll believe it. Ok nuff said HOW DO I GET ME ONE OF THOSE NEW CARS !!!! I wonder if my brother and myself could make one run. LOL

Bruce don't know you but you are entitled to say whatever you want and the readers here will decide whether you are right wrong or something less complimentary . Me I can't wait to get the car and do everything I can to make it fast . I don't hide it not apologizing for it glad that I work hard enough to afford it so peace out brother
