Re: 2019 Challenger 1320 is now legal for Stock and Super St
Yep. Seems like the rules have changed just a tad since 1971 too. Surely you wouldn't want me to add 400 lbs of lead just to replace all the Federally mandated stuff that I get to remove?

Gump, you sure have a selective memory. Shipping weight and Horsepower continue to be the standard unless you are a member of the chosen few. You don't get to remove one pound from the shipping weight until after the car has been classified. Nice try though.

Re: 2019 Challenger 1320 is now legal for Stock and Super St
The easy thing for NHRA to do would be to make the transbrakes legal like they did with the Heavy/Pro/Footbrake cars in D1. But they wouldn't go there, would they?

Yep.
It's now 413 fact. h.p. for the 1320 Challenger @ 3400 lbs. I believe that now makes the car a natural A car ( 8.23 lbs./hp )

Re: 2019 Challenger 1320 is now legal for Stock and Super St
Always good to see cars put in the guide.
I think it could possibly be a interesting bracket car, with a warranty, and might lead new blood into the stock and superstock arena. Especially if Ford and GM, put out their own like minded models. Then and only then would the subject matter of a car like this competing as is in stock be something to talk about. Own class, etc. Could it happen, who knows. Now the economics of currently building one of these for stock and superstock, aren't that compelling, as a 45K entry point or so is just the beginning. 100K done would likely be reasonable. Someone might do it, a wrecked car would be more $ reasonable. @ 413 HP I don't think it looks like a good package. I leave it up to those in the know on the delta between this motor and the Indy motors from last year in the Camaro, etc. A original E-Body 70 like mine or Jerry in Texas would be a better use of $ to go run at the windmills of A-Stock and A-Stick. If you want to play, be prepared to pay. Its a bonfire of the cash, of that all must agree, whether its a 69 big block camaro, a new Camaro, a new challenger, a new mustang, or even a old challenger or cuda...... Eric
