I find it comical that you folks attack me and don't ever address the underlying problem of allowing these bogus horsepower ratings and shipping weights. Charlie I raced for more than 30 years and still work on Andrew's car and haul it around for him and contribute a little financially.

Could it have anything to do with the 1970 Camaro? Originally rated at 360 HP. Which is ten HP less than what is basically the same motor in the 1970 Corvette. Now rated at 325 HP. You seem to be happy with the system when it applies to you, but get way out of joint and accuse others of stealing when it applies to them.

The shipping weights had to be adjusted for the new cars. You can't legally get them heavy enough to make the weights that some want. That is, once you remove everything that isn't required by the rules. I really don't see how a change to this would make a qualifying difference. I would rather run in A/B/C over a slower class. I guarantee that it will be easier on parts.

As an FYI. I purchased a zero option 2012 Camaro SS just to prove that the published 2010 specification submitted by Chevrolet was wrong.

Note that the automatic SS was factory rated at 400 HP. So, if you look at the reduction it got from that perspective, Andrew's Camaro got the same break that I did. I am not mad at him for that.......
