It should read 2008 and newer non street legal cars.

All production line cars with VINs are "street" cars and thus would fall into "traditional" Stock classes, regardless of year

Nothing new here - just more bogus Horsepower and weight numbers with a fake hood here and there. Oh and now the OEM's want to sell us their crate motors for Stock. Some how this crate motor deal is offered as a way to save Stock. Stock is doing just fine without the greedy OEM's stomping on it. And it could do much better if nhra would stop trying to ruin it.

Let me ask a question here, please.
The Drag Paks came with a trailer axle stuck under the back, just so they would roll around, yes?
The new Challenger street legal cars came with an independent rear suspension, yes?
So the VIN cars would have to use remnants of the original swing arm, plus the same original mounting points as the IRS. You know, like the early Corvettes have to do, yes?

The IRS Vettes are allowed the solid rear housing, but it has to meet the specs on flange width and on the mounting points of the IRS swing arms. The cross spring even had to be mounted in a position close to stock. Shock location and mounting points were supposed to be in or near stock location. It was that way at one time. How do I know? I started jumping through all the hoops to build one in very legal form. (2001)
Who is to say what it is like now.

I'm thinking a precedent has been set. It's also been set with the use of TH400 and glides in non GM vehicles and a 9" ford rear in a copo. The doors are open.
