New Classes in Stock AAA/SA, AAA/S and FS/AAA

[GTS340]

I'm lost trying to figure out the path NHRA is taking. At one time if the car had at least 50 productions of a combination it was in the books. Like Paul wrote he has been trying to get a simple V6 2010 Challenger in the books. There is a newer Chrysler V6 in every third driveway. The other ones have Fords and G.Ms. The combos in the books for younger folks to build. Those combos are the cars rusting in the weeds.It is simple math. The street version 5.7 Hemi was put in the books at 25% less Hp than factory had it rated. They won't do it for the V6....Why?

Also at this time. Correct me if I'm wrong. There is only one street version 5.7 and one 6.1 challenger running stock eliminator. I guess Chargers were never made. Maybe NHRA should wided the field in different areas first.

I know some people from Dodge were going to put the newer Chargers in with NHRA, but the process was never completed. The cars are easy to obtain and plenty were made.

You hit the nail on the head. For a while you could buy flood damaged cars from the big 3 with hazmat title so it would never be legal on the street. The V6 Camaro was about $3500. You had to use it in racing.

Nhra is now allowing 572 engines in 2022 copo camaro. Nhra rates this motor at 500hp. First the 572 was never installed in any chevy,it is a crate motor only. Also chevy rated it at 621hp not 500. We used to sell these thru the parts department.

GM won’t put it in unless it’s instantly competitive.

In all fairness, what manufacturers would enter an engine combo that doesn't have HP as low as they can get it?

I get that!
