Back in the day, there used to be more mid horse powered (9.5 to 12 lbs per) classed cars in the classes, now it seems that they were never made. Times have changed! The insurance companies kept the ratios down or you would pay through the nose for insurance, so that made it that there were less high HP cars in stock. Now that the cars that are in "Stock" can't be registered for street legal use from the factory, the insurance monitoring system doesn't effect the classes any longer. When the 1970 LS6 Chevelle was introduced, the problem wasn't buying one, the problem was insuring it. That's why there aren't many of them around. That goes for all the real high performance cars back in the 60's and 70's. If you were 20 yrs old and wanted to get insurance on a 396/375 Camaro, you best take out a mortgage. I'm just looking on how Stock has changed, a point of view.
