I can see this thing becoming a 'worldwide muscle car series' if they play their cards right...I guess this means a lot more roll bars will be needed for all those Ferrari & Bugatti's entering the series huh, lol.

...oh and by the way here's the link.

Hey Bo, in Kepners defense, there's a lot of combos in the NHRA guide that never get built. So what, it looks good in print.

Billy I would agree . Only thing is if the some of these combination show up they can be real fast and you cant factor that to start . It just seems like a joke to me .

Wonder why they left out the Jaguar R series or for that mater the Lotus , Twin Turbo Mini Copper , Saleens ect . Either its real racing or it's just BS

If its going to be a super car series make it that . If it going to be factory made race cars from the big 3 make it that . If its going to be factory built race cars from any manufacture make it that .

It wont be fair with factory built race cars vs high dollars street cars . The street cars will have the upper hand with traction control and dial up your own boost just to name a few items.

The amazing thing is comparing these HP numbers with the same cars 15 years ago. Technology is has made these cars amazingly fast.

I promise I won't interfere with your dialogue on the subject but I feel the need to point out the list whch appeared in the January 24 press release, (the same which is posted in this thread), represents only some of the many combinations which COULD be used. It is not a list of the only eligible vehicles. It's merely a sample of the production cars available which offer engines of more than four hundred factory-rated horsepower.

As stated in the release, there are many more combinations out there than those listed.

Carry on.

Oh, by the way...
