Who's the Baddest B/SA now?

If the ego contest of Camaro racers had been kept in check, it would still be at the 305 it was originally rated at. The vette has been 345 from the beginning, even when the Camaro was 305. They wouldn't lower the vette back then, when no one could figure out how to get one down the track, so the reverse argument holds no water now. If you want to complain about the factor on the f-body cars, there are plenty of racers that helped get it there, same as a whole lot of other combos that aren't as good as they once were. The AHFS exists to prevent "pencil whipping" a combo to death. It's not perfect, but it's the rules we race under. Think it should be changed? Talk to NHRA

I don't think it should be changed.
I enjoy my ridiculously under-factored car.
I just want to point out a few things some people don't realize is happening.
The Factory cars get crap all the time about their factors.Its time some traditional cars get the spotlight. And what better car than someone who is asking for it with "The Baddest B Stocker in the Country", when its really a AA Stocker

Hate to break it to this guy, but 9.80 only gets you 0.90 under the AA/SA index. Which is where the Vette, at that weight, would be with the same factoring as the same engine in the other lane.
