Last year I was told by an NHRA official that Ford had zero intentions of ever giving them specs for any car newer than '08 or '10 that was not a Cobra Jet race car. In other words, no real production street cars in the guide from Ford.
They are nice cars, and there are good people who own them. But they belong in their own class, or at least their own sub classes. They do not belong in the same class or classes as real production street cars that were sold new with valid VINs, and all the equipment necessary to operate legally on public streets.
Can they be good for the sport? Sure. Have they really yielded all of the attention from the media or attendance from fans we were assured they would? Not even close. Will they? Probably not, the way things are being done at this point.
