Oh , its not that I don't believe it , I'm sure the rules have been "bent" to achieve WHATEVER they are running...........but in the spirit of "stock" you can bet your fannys they are far removed from stock. Apparently the "rules" of stock have been biased for the NEW cars performance to escalate to levels totally unobtainable with a super tune and cam change..............like stock USED to be with traditional muscle cars that were doing well to run in the 11's let alone 10s. Now they have blowers and lots and lots of spaces between the lines to build contemporary engines with.
I mean crap , the Hemi cars in Super Stock are competitive with low 8's, now you want me to believe an 8.50 stocker is truely STOCK or some close fascimile to stock? LMAO
