you could buy one on the showroom floor and drive it home????? there's a big start. If you want to "buy one and drive it home" from ford, the closest you can get ( which is a mere .030 in cam lift different) is a GT500 rated at 540.

Not to mention the older combinations mentioned weren't almost hundred horsepower soft like the modern ones...

The 08 Shelby is only 500 hp which is a good place to start for the CJ IMO. Fezell could have the sticks there by the end of next year the way he is running. As for the automatics I think the retired OLD blue ford from NY could out run any one of them for the right $$$, but I didn't race stock for very long and haven't raced it in over 10 years so my opion doesn't really matter

D. French out of $$ long b4 the new cars came along LOL

Well you can thank our wonderful government for allowing the Car Manufacturers the chance to make these cars showroom available. With the government regulations the car companies have to deal with it is a wonder they were able to do what they did. Don't blame NHRA,Ford and Chrysler, blame the U.S. Government for not making these cars showroom available and driveable on the street.

Ford does make a street legal one, its rated at 540 HP. RACE THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!! ohh yea, its a SS/A only car and wouldn't be able to run roughshod over the rest of the class. Of course, that is, if it was even in the guide.
