427 copo made that 428 look like it was in slow motion! Very impressive to get on the track with that little testing and perform like they did!

Jared, you sound like some of us when the bogus drag paks came out. Now the shoe is on the other foot? At least they didn't start out in H/SA.

I asked, when I put up the specs like you just did: On what planet should the 360" drag pak be rated the same as an LT1, which is/was already soft?
My wife could look at those specs and say "No way!"

It's kinda like the old saying that the first liar doesn't have a chance.
Last one to the market is going to trump the earlier versions. do I think it is right? Absolutely not! I think they are all bogus.

Ed,

I posted something similar about the 5.9 Magnum engine vs. a 360 Volare once upon a time. At that point, the 5.9 was rated 14 HP LESS than my mom's car.

My views on the new cars are the same now as they always were: I love watching them, I'd love to have one (even a COPO!), but they have no business running in the same classes as the older combo's with the HP factors out of line.

I omitted the Drag Pak from my previous post only because I felt that a) I'd already typed too much and b) seems like the DP has been brought a bit closer in line factoring-wise compared to the CJ and COPO.

Jared, the 360" DP hp factor has not been hit in SS, where I have to live with them. Still at 275. Beyond bogus.
