Engine guy, Isnt this a variation of the HP plan? you know the one where a newer car with a motor which has a 100hp too low rating is allowed to create havoc in the qualifying and class for 5 years maybe even with wrong head ccs? People begin to build them and get rid of older cars or motors hoping to stay competitive and FINALLY factoring accidently happens and wa lah old motors gone, old cars gone, LOTS of MONEY and upset people during and after the 5 years of planned neglect? The FI cars are a perfect example but this time instead of factoring them by looking at written specs a several year split was allowed. THEN when many accepted the technology and they were being factored up the old cars are mainly replaced by more socially accepted late models. Some of the bogus factors remain in GT and SS 305 cars.
I know of 400 chevy owners giving up now due to the "fact" they are more correct but cant keep up with the FI underfactored motors which remain.
I know old Chevies(fill in your brand) arent being sold today and Old corvettes dont sell new cars but could it just be admitted up front and be honest to everyone and more brain power used to begin with?NO because that wouldnt get the new cars into the field which are needed....
