What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?

The focus has been on the engines and Ed Wright stated the same. Just because the assembly issue is brought up, that doesn't change the focus.

Are the hp factors off ? You bet they are, are the cars special built and need there own class as the FI cars did to get the hp close ? They sure do, so what now ? Stop bitchen and get on nhra's ***. I think nhra will make an attempt to fix some of this but I dont see it coming till after the season ends and who knows what they will do, maybe nothing. My 2 1/2 cents worth

We have gotten on the NHRA's case about these cars. Are you upset that we are discussing this openly? Does it bother you that we do? Don't open the thread if it does! I don't see how it is any skin off your nose what is posted.

I had heard from a pretty good source that this might happen. Do you know that it's 100% for sure?

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.

you should probably look under our car before you run your mouth...............I'm just saying

Don,

If you read all my posts since these cars were first announced you will see that my attitude towards them has changed quite a bit. I have a new Camaro and a Challenger. Before it is all over I will probably have a Mustang too. I think that these cars are great. I feel that if we had just the 6.1 Hemi and the 2008 spec. Mustangs things would have settled down in a reasonable amount of time. But, with new "package" motors being released on a regular basis I feel that an FX class is the right place to put these cars. It just isn't right to flood every class with them.

I figured that you don't have a reason to complain about the Drag paks or CJ's either way because if you havn't replaced the swing axle, you havn't done everything there is to make you competitive, and if you have replaced it then your car is no better than the Drag paks or CJ"s. Which is it?
