Yeah I've always run "bogus combos" 1970 RT Challenger convertible (hemi), 1987 Dodge Shadow turbo I. (Real bogus they only made milliuons of them LOL) 1991 Dodge Spirit ES (another rare find LOL)
And last but not least the rareest of them all a Dodge Neon. Do you realize the only way you could get one was to buy it. You had to be one of those special people with real money."The inhumanity of it all"

LOL LOL

I can't believe you or anyone else can defend this bogus BS. These cars have no business in the traditional stock classes, they were never produced as a street legal car and the motors are not even crate motors. They are just a bunch of parts from the hi po catalogs of Ford and Chrysler. Let me have a set of fast burn heads, a 520 solid roller cam, a victor intake and a dominator carb plus 11.5 to 1 compression and rate my motor at 285 and let the games begin.

Greg. I was answering a comment that my combos were bogus. Or do you agree the cars I've run are bogus?
Please read the post before commenting.

This is just a guess and I could be wrong, but I don't believe he was referring to the quantity produced.

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but the way I took it was he meant bogus factor.

I don't know about your current ride, but any car that can go 2 seconds under the index I would say the factor is just a little off.

I will answer the question then, I would say your Hemi challenger would qualify as a race car but the rest you listed are about as much of a race car as a VW bug. Sure there are spec's in the guide, but most poeple wouldn't think of them as race car may be you do, this not the same situation that we have now with these new under rated cars.

The Turbo dodges have been in the clasification guides since 1984. It's not built by GM?
My Neon is pounds per cubic inch. There is no HP factor.What's your point?
PS I have qualified number 1 at an NHRA event with every car I have raced.

Artie, His point was to take a shot at FWD cars, and therefore at you, in total anonymity .

Nice

No it was not a shot at FWD cars it was a shot at any car that MOST folks would consider not to be a race car, notice the word most. I understand that some can look at a station wagon and see a race car same with a FWD. car but most don't, so these type of cars are far and few, that is why i said it isn't the same as the new under rated cars we have now. I am sorry to the few that think they have a bad ***** station wagon or FWD. car because it will never be a 68 cuda/426 or an L88 vette. imo. Just because it can Qualify up top really doesn't mean much these days anyway.
