Note to NHRA: 1) call if it A/FX 2) give the proper weight break to the Mopar to compensate for the Ford advantage with the blower and 3spd and voila a competive series. CR

1) Dodge tried to get 3 speed accepted for the Viper powered Challenger to no avail....

Weight breaks? Horsepower advantage? Run'em straight up.

The monkeys responsible for placing these cars in Stock are too simple to understand the significance of FX classes. To the casual fan the word Stock sounds boring but Factory Experimental gets the imagination revved up. They would have been a big hit as showcase FX cars.

Cheby is only building the COPO's with 2 speed this is the only way you can buy if if you are one of the chosen few! Yet you can run it with a 3sp or manual, what gives? Was the envelope thicker? it should be what is good for the goose is good for the gander!
