INDY Domination

[BlueOval Ralph]

In your dreams as I said before You can't race a Donkey at the Kentucky Derby there is much more than just Bogus HP Factores! Longer wheel base, wider, more frontal aera+ poorer aero, Very heavy all this = Donkey if you overlay the Mustang on the Camaro you see why the Mustang is a Race Horse!

If you give a new Camaro a supercharged LS3 engine and rate it at 180 horsepower,I would think it should be able to make the top 20 qualifiers.

Maybe the same as the old Turbo Corvairs Monza let's see at 120 hp and a shipping weight of 3865 now what class is that?

[z28camaroman]

Maybe new AFX classes for all the new cars.

I noticed that D. Fezell's Mustang has to weigh 3725 now. He triggered another hp hit this weekend running 1.21 under, will the car go over 3800 lbs on Tuesday? How does NHRA figure out how much to hit cars like this?

Maybe they use "Farmers" old dart board except the people in charge today can not throw straight?

Can the Camaro compete? Let's check the Classification Guide..............

2010 (Only) Camaro 2 door SS Coupe, 426 rated HP with the manual transmission, 400 with the automatic. Let's use the stick.......

Stock class factor 9.04, C/SA @ 9.00 times 426 plus 170 = 4004 lbs., close to the CJ's?

The big question - is the HP rating of 426 realistic or not from a 376 cubic inch normally-aspirated LS? Won't know that until someone builds one!

does it really matter!!! No one cares or is doing anything about it-[nhra], my 41 year old piece of s#$t weighs in at a minimum of 3920 in c/sa so i really don't see a problem!!!and if i decided to run a 40 year old mopar b-body i would need to tip the scales a bit over 4000lbs. So why can't we just get along and just enjoy the moment/time???someone said maybe just stay home or go play golf or go fishing, words well spoken!!! Less b.s. And I can still have a cold one WHILE SITTING ON MY BOAT, AND HAVE THE SEA GULLS CRAP ON ME. On stand-by/waiting, and if i missed out, so be it, my loss.
