So I guess what a majority of you are saying is that Ford should have told NHRA to rate this combo at say 550 hp or better out the box. Did NHRA not rate the LT1 and LS1 combo's soft initially?
I don't get it, these cars have only attended two or three races and you GM guys want put the car out of the class. Ford did exactly what any other manufacturer could do, if these guys go out there and run too fast they will get horsepower. If enough of you cry NHRA might change the AHFS because of one car but how many other combos might this affect? If they did something it would have to be across the board so we would be right back where we were in the begining; the Cobra Jet at the head of the pack!
I really can't believe this car has caused this much of stir.
