And the challenger is more of a pig than either of them. What's your point?

I noticed that D. Fezell's Mustang has to weigh 3725 now. He triggered another hp hit this weekend running 1.21 under, will the car go over 3800 lbs on Tuesday? How does NHRA figure out how much to hit cars like this?

Maybe they use "Farmers" old dart board except the people in charge today can not throw straight?

Can the Camaro compete? Let's check the Classification Guide..............

2010 (Only) Camaro 2 door SS Coupe, 426 rated HP with the manual transmission, 400 with the automatic. Let's use the stick.......

Stock class factor 9.04, C/SA @ 9.00 times 426 plus 170 = 4004 lbs., close to the CJ's?

The big question - is the HP rating of 426 realistic or not from a 376 cubic inch normally-aspirated LS? Won't know that until someone builds one!

It's the bogus HP factors, not the body style.

does it really matter!!! No one cares or is doing anything about it-[nhra], my 41 year old piece of s#$t weighs in at a minimum of 3920 in c/sa so i really don't see a problem!!!and if i decided to run a 40 year old mopar b-body i would need to tip the scales a bit over 4000lbs. So why can't we just get along and just enjoy the moment/time???someone said maybe just stay home or go play golf or go fishing, words well spoken!!! Less b.s. And I can still have a cold one WHILE SITTING ON MY BOAT, AND HAVE THE SEA GULLS CRAP ON ME. On stand-by/waiting, and if i missed out, so be it, my loss.

The new Camaro with a Whipple supercharger is going to scare the crap out of the supercharged Ford's and all motor DP's. Just my .02

Alan, I really don't think the body in white, no VIN # Camaro's will be that heavy.

Being a die hard Mopar fan all my life I was very impressed by the new Mustang's this year at Indy. I believe once Chevy steps up to the plate I'll be impressed with them as well. Time for Ma Mopar to step up to the plate with a blower.
