Buddy had a 92 festiva and I owed a 94 aspire and 96 aspire. Those little cars were a blast to rip around in, lol.

Wonder what a 1.3 festiva would do in the 1/4? Be fun having a SS go by at 150mph when you're going 60mph! BWAHAHAHAHA!!

I looked into running a 2007 Chevy HHR as a fwd stocker about 5 years ago. When I contacted NHRA, they said no problem as long as Chevrolet would provide the specs and they gave me a name to contact at Chevrolet.
Turns out the Chevy folks were not interested. Here is their response:
“Hi Pete. Unfortunately, vehicle/engine specifications including part numbers are not readily available for past model GM cars. NHRA also requires submitting parts and they could be difficult to track down after more than 10 years of being out of production. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.”

You could get the combo in the guide yourself but it would take some time and effort. You'll need a donor car and a sympathetic parts man (or 2) but it can be done!
You should also check out the internet and see if you can find a copy of the MVMA guide for the year you need!

Yes I thought about that ... then I sold the donor car and moved on. Would have made a neat stocker though.

Both of the K-brothers know how to make a turtle sprout wings. I just want to see one of them or both up close to see a little of their magic, just not in the other lane just yet.

Great Job Brent!

Both NHRA AND CARS MANUFACTURERS are missing the boat here, with this best way to attrack new young people to NHRA Stock category.
I'm not sure of the willing of both partners to resolve this issue.
