A little crazy to comprehend but correct. Cars that run F stick or auto are usually post cars due to them being physically lighter. Larry might run F; however I can guarantee he's not even close to minimum! A '66 or '67 SS fits G with some hard work on lightening the car but will easily get to minimum in H with minimal and properly placed ballast. Any way you put it these models are in the top 5 all time for true SS'ers. Stick or Auto, cool either way!
I think they are in the top 5 with NHRA factored hp as well!
