Rules amendments 2013

What are you stupid? Have you watched any kind of class racing in the last 10 years?
Why does a prostock run a 5 speed and not a 4 speed, or even a 3 speed.

That is why nobody runs a PG in comp anymore.

If you build or buy a very good lightweight 3 speed " PRO TRANS or, METRIC 200 " It is going to out perform just about any powerglide. A T400 or a T350 will not be as fast. Its about rotating weight. If you ad a gear to a transmission with almost the same rotating weight, it should make a car run quicker.

Nothing old is going to outrun the brand new race cars. But maybe this will breathe new life into some of the old combo's. I'd love to see a 68 350 Camaro with a good 3 spped in it rated at 286 HP. Should be fun...

Its all legal in Stock and S/S according to the 2013 rules. Imagine a Ford 427 Thunderbolt with a C2 trans or SS/AH Mopar with a 2-speed from a Drag-pac. Then there is the LS1 Camaro/Firebird/Corvette package with a Powerglide. That weak Metric 200 and the C4 will be a thing of the past.[/QUOTE]
