wow just looking at nhra racer page dated 1/08/2014 and it looks like the 03/04 camaro/firebird combo gets a 92 h.p. increase from 313 nhra
to 405? and a couple mopar 440's get 5 back.

I tell ya, nice '03 & '04 Camaros are getting kinda hard to find. I hear Cooter Hildago has one hidden away.

Kyle has one he lets his sheep sleep in, which is a tad strange, but.....

I understand that mistakes happen.....but what's scary is that they haven't corrected it.

I still can't figure out how they managed to mix it up that badly. Was somebody hitting the bottle of whiskey that morning or???

I'm assuming they're talking about GT factors:
There's a 346/350/313 (was 305) and a 346/405/405 (was never 305 or 313).
Also, I looked at the 2004 Pontiac guide and I couldn't find a Firebird in there, as I expected. What's next, they'll hit the '88 Buick GNX with a few HP?

I am confused... I thought 2002 was the last year they made Camaro's and Firebird's for a few years until they came back out a few years ago.... I had bought a 2002 Firebird in 2002

How do they add horsepower to a car never made

Chev has paper cars too, just nobody talks about it, LOL!!

It's not even in the guide, just a slip of the pen. Why it hasn't been corrected? ....well...umm...maybe nhra doesn't follow classracer like IHRA does?
