What about the 68 Hemi Darts and Cuda's? They weren't street legal either and at one time considered a new car. I also see 10hp was added to the 426 Hemi for 2010. Who back in 68 thought a SS/AH Dart was ever going to run in the 8's?

I wouldn't think these new factory race cars should effect the older muscle cars once NHRA establishes the class/engine average based on the specific engine combo, transmission type and body style. Only time will tell though cause that call will still be at the discretion of NHRA.
