Painting a new SS/GT G5 (Rich South)

At the very least, the traditional rear wheel drive cars shoud not be grouped in with these when it comes to getting a horsepower hit.
Several of us got the sportsman committee to vote unanimously ( one person wasn't available for the vote) on such a rule a couple years back, but Glendoria shut the door on it.Quite often these cars get a combo hit, and the rear wheel drive , bigger, slower cars take the same hit. Its pretty well agreed apon, these little hot rods are somewhere betwen .07 and a tenth quicker than their big brothers.

These new FWD conversions in S/S are more radical than "Grumpys" ProStock Vega built in 1972.

Ding Ding... We have a winner. Why was this shut down by Glendora? Non-factory heads carry +5 hp. Why not FWD conversion? Every hit my engine combos took was from a FWD car. They make good looking super stockers but how can I compete in GT with two separate rules for them and my camaro? Wonder why we don't see the solstice or sky being built. Both are small,light, and very aerodynamic. No Camaros either. Why all the FWD cars? Is there that big of an advantage to a sheet metal floor? or is the advantage somewhere else?
