Yes they are. Around 1967/1968 there was a story in one of the major magazines, Hot Rod, Popular Hot Rodding, or Car Craft ...I don't remember which, but the story was titled, " ARE THE FACTORYS RUINING HOT RODDING?" It's sad to say, but history does repete itself, and the 1960s muscle cars / Factory Race Cars did not ruin hot rodding or drag racing. Neither will the new "Factory Hot Rods." Additionally, 3 years ago, Bruce, Travis, Danny, and others, completely revised the AHFS. It would have brought the HP Ratings in check much faster. But because of lobbing by the "Older under factored combos", your SRAC members voted it down. So suck it up, find more HP, play the lower the HP game, or buy a new Factory Hot Rod. JB.
