If I could have any stocker I wanted, an A/SA or a AA car would do it for me, that is, a 69 Camaro. Unfortunately, they are a costly car to build, a costly car to run, and there are a lot of them. That means, lots of R&D, test and tunes, wear and tear, parts and supplies, plus the ever costly learning curve. The DP/CJ thing came along and really added to all this. Dan Fletcher's move to a 396/325 makes perfect sense. The lower horsepower engine will go the distance, as the 375/425 horse combos seem to get revved to the point of near total demolition to get them to work.In another thread, the question was put up,"How to beat a CJ/DP car ? Once out of their class, the laws of physics and the game plan is the same-"drill the tree, dial correctly,run the number , drive the stripe".
