So what is your point? The 08 is rated @ 500 and the NHRA factor for a stick is 449 (I think) Fezell's 08 gets it hit so often I can't keep it straight.

Well, the hp ratings are also honest.

That makes no sense at all.

Well you can thank our wonderful government for allowing the Car Manufacturers the chance to make these cars showroom available. With the government regulations the car companies have to deal with it is a wonder they were able to do what they did. Don't blame NHRA,Ford and Chrysler, blame the U.S. Government for not making these cars showroom available and driveable on the street.

IT'S SO FAR UNDERFACTORED IT IS RIDICULOUS!!!

BTW, There are NO older cars that can run with these new cars at there current HP factors PERIOD!!!

Ford does make a street legal one, its rated at 540 HP. RACE THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!! ohh yea, its a SS/A only car and wouldn't be able to run roughshod over the rest of the class. Of course, that is, if it was even in the guide.

[Ed Wright]

Amen!

You have such a way with words.

Do like we did...dial the number...cut a lite..Rick didn't crush the index but won the event.

If your happy bracket racing & don't have a heads up that will work.

I would be happy to race a stock Shelby just as soon as all the guys racing the old cars give up the parts that don't make their cars original production showroom available. These include Siamese bore replacement blocks, superceded cylinder heads, cams, intake manifolds, carburators, Lightweight transmissions , carbon fiber hoods in place of fiberglass, and rear axles in place of what came from the factory. Many of these items affect the original horsepower rating and don't make it fair for the people that have to race the oem parts because there were none available for their combinations. How many 1963 to 2010 Corvettes were built from the factory without the swing arm axles? None! Well guess what your car isn't a showroom available piece either. If you say that NHRA allows us to do that, well guess what, NHRA has approved the Drag Pak and Cobra Jets also.

The same number as Dodge DP's that came from the factory with a rear end of any kind !
