7.5 lb class for GT

Rulebook says minimum weight in GT with driver is 2670 pounds. The little teenie tiny small block cars won't measure up.

Dan,

I guess I just hate to see the death of the big block GT car. You know there are fewer and fewer each year. Maybe the answer would be to make a big block only class in GT.

All of the really killer big block engine combinations won't factor into a GT car. GT has become the haven of the small block. Small blocks are great little engines, no doubt about it, but why can't we get some of the real factory high performance engines in GT. There is no good reason not to allow them. All of the cars these days are built to accomodate the increased speed, just look at the modified cars, so why not allow a lighter GT car with a big block?

Super Stock is all about the factory high performance cars and engines, Hemi's, LS-6's, L-88's Ford 427 side oiler, 440 Six Paks, SD455's, Tunnel ram dual quad AMC's and many others. Since GT is a modern extension of Super Stock why can't we run these engines????? Talk about Crowd pleasers!! Could you just see a new style Mustang with a 427 running a new Cuda with a 426 Hemi?

Somehow I just can't imagine a new style Cuda with a 318 in GT/HA.
