Re: Mustang MPH?
The 1970 426 Hemi automatic which is currently rated at 457 which is 7 hp more than the super stock rating. The 1970 426 hemi Cuda or Challenger are no longer competitive with the Chevy Ford and Mopar wedge motors. This combo was penalized because of one run by one person that was made in unbelievable conditions in Bellrose, La. The AHFS really just can't look at it from a black and white situation there are some gray areas here. I know this for a fact because I have parked my Cuda I ran SS with it but unless you spend high dollars you can’t be competitive with a stocker disguised as a SS. And I’ve always liked stock, it has always been fun. Had some great times, miss it and all my friends (well I hope they’re my friends). Oh yeah, I can build another car but I like mine. So really all the Ford’s and Chevy’s and yes even Mopar guys you really don’t have anything to bitch about until you get hit with over 216 LBS in less than 18 months. Just think of this, the hemi combo has to weigh over 3820 lbs. in A/SA. and over 3940 in top stock. Wow why don’t I just attach my trailer and drag it with me. Egos will take over and someone in the new mustang will go very very fast. Time will tell. just my 2 cents.

A/SA 1042 factored into extinction
