Of the ones you listed, it appears that Jeff Teuton with the 2013 Challenger @ 380 hp is the only competitive car out there.
Last year his Challenger was over 1.1 sec. under in B/SA and C/SA.
I haven't seen this years stats yet.

The 2010 Camaro is the only production year Camaro listed since 2002 and even it seems rated too high @ 400 hp. Not sure if anyone has tried that combo yet.

The '05-'14 Mustang combos are not competitive, IMO.
The '11-'14 Coyote Mustangs are rated more than a CJ....with pretty much the same engine.

I still think NHRA should rate the newer cars @ 80% of the dealer brochure advertised hp...then let the AHFS system take care of the fast cars.
