x2. My Nova, chassis-wise, is basically a Stocker and I have a diaper on it after oiling the track and feeling lucky to get it stopped safely. It is a DRE with Kevlar panels where the headers get close or touch, and it was made to accommodate the stock motor mounts. It fits like a glove and I'm glad to have it.
Especially considering the nature of S/SS to maximize performance and often run on the edge of the parts' potential, I am surprised those classes have escaped the diaper rule as long as they have.
