That said, the Firebird, will not see super stock competition as long as I own it. It's a very good top bulb bracket car and Super Street car.

As to stock, no class is easy however on average, the reaction times, packages in stock are easy for an accomplished driver to get in on and when you consider that many in stock can't drive or don't want to drive the stripe, it makes it easy for driver's that do.
From what I've seen, there is some truth to this. I think you can get away with more in Stock depending on the round, but it's so tough to actually WIN. You might get by a round or two with a .050 bulb, but sooner or later you are going to run somebody who knows what time of day it is. Besides, most of what stock is and what makes it so difficult is everything that happens in the garage and at the trailer to make a 305, manually shifted, quadrajet carbureted in my case vehicle consistent, fast enough, and raceable. This isn't like a blueprint engine with a electric shifted powerglide and a 750 holley. The constraints of the class is what makes it more difficult than just being a decent footfeeder.
