Awesome. The spirit of "Junior Stock" is alive and well. Can't wait to see more about build.

Already makes a fast Pure Stocker and do not have to add the roll bar.

Alan,

Great documentation!

I'm a huge fan of getting newer cars in Stock. They are plentiful and economical given their level of performance. And if you need a part there are dealers everywhere.

Hopefully this encourages more folks to get newer iron out there.

I know it is legal in the regular FI classes at IHRA.

On that run it was 90 lbs. heavy for I/SA and spun off the line, so had it not spun and was at minimum weight, that may have been a 13.05, just .75 away from the NHRA index and .55 off the E/FIA index @ IHRA.

Stock 3.31 rear gears, stock suspension, stock torque convertor, and totally stock engine. Definitely room for improvement.

For Pure Stock ..call it a 2005..it fits in the Rules.
Since the Engine is similar in all those years.
IHRA maybe compliant and add those years.

I take it you had a roll bar installed correct?

This is really cool, taking a newer car and doing the "dime rocket" approach as opposed to all the other new cars (mustang/challenger/Camaro) that have massive $$$$ dumped into them.

I hope this works really well for you Alan, good luck. (and chronicle everything with pic's please!)
