Parity in Stock - Page 2

Joe,

You are dead on. The new cars are under-rated and will be fast for a while, but so were many others before them—a la LT-1 and LS F-bodies. That deal amounted to years of domination and much griping from many who competed against them. If the new cars were dead slow who would want one? I think it's great for the class, heck Don Garlits is racing Stock Eliminator! Hopefully Chevy will come out with a good combo for the new Camaro so all three new cars can do battle.

Once they (Mustang and Challenger) go fast they will get HP and be sucked back to reality until the next "hot" combo takes over (which could be an older car) and rules the roost. It's an endless cycle, which is why we work on our cars and continue to challenge ourselves to do better. Of course no one wants to get beat, especially those who work hard and spend lots of money, but it's not like they are getting beat (which they haven't yet), by a $5,000 car. A new Mustang of Challenger takes as much, if not more, investment than just about and other AA, A, B or C combo.
