So it's somewhat irritating to me that you make it personal, when this whole h.p./factor problem is between NHRA and the manufacturer. Yes these cars are fast from the factory. But not as fast as the one in our shop....once again, no accident. I am not going to publicly go over how to make one of these cars better than how they come from the factory, and a guy like you should understand that.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree....not the first time or the last.
Sean. I never intended to anything to be personal. I asked the question about what isn't race ready on those cars out of curiosity. You even agree that the cars are way under factored, a correct factor would move a lot of these cars out of stock. Would you prefer that or or them be in an fx class. I never meant any disrespect as I know y'all have always had fast stuff. But you have to admit, thes cars are stupid fast as they come and have an insurmountable advantage. I have no ill will toward anyone racing one of these cars, but I don't think they have alot to be proud of either. The onus for this disaster belongs on NHRA's doorstep and it is up to them to make it right. Hopefully there is a resolution that will make the traditional stock racers happy and not offend the racers of the new cars or the factories. Unfortunately someone is going to be pissed, and I don't think it should be those who have always supported the class and done things the old fashioned way
