Is this a mistake?

Shouldn't it have to weigh the stock 4300lb + shipping weight minus the amount allowable to any other car? Is a Ford guy allowed to run a 71 Torino Squire wagon 429 SCJ (lighter car than a new Challenger when both are stock!) at 3600lbs too? And the 392 is rated at 485 net HP when in the showroom at dealerships. Most net ratings are increased to be NHRA HP... for example the 302 2V Mavericks and Mustangs II, the 305 Chevy, even 360 Mopars.

Maybe we can petition NHRA to allow the blown Copo / Jet / Paks into SS/A & B to chase the cool old musclecars out of those classes too?
