Kearney Ne, Open National Records

Oh What a big surprise! Anybody remember the Factory Experimental thread? Ford made it very clear from the very beginning that it was their intent to cheat the system with this car. Big deal.

Ford did not do anything different than what Government Motors racing group has done for the last 40 years or so. Remember the 255 hp 350 back in 1969 or the Oldsmobiles of the 1980's or the LS1's of the 1990's. All were underfactored in their day. The car Companies want their race cars to go fast, to sell new cars, so they used the system to their advantage, but saying they cheated the system is your words, not Fords. How come no one complained about Irvin Johns Drag Pac Challenger being number one qualifyer at the Columbus Sportsnationals last week? Bruce is still sore because the Cobra Jets rained on his A/sa Corvette parade, but the Cobra Jets aren't the only game in town, so get used to it. Maybe the Performance Group at GM will step up to the plate with a competitive new Camaro, if they can get it by Congress.

Dear no-namer Ford Guy,

GM never showed up at SEMA and said they were hiding their Horsepower numbers from nhra. The rest of your post is hooey.

Jimmy - Jeff,

I hope you guys brought enough junk food for everybody.

Jack,

The barn the horse escaped from is smoldering. Glad to see you have seen the light.

Do you really think that GM or Chrysler would openly submit their Horsepower Sheets to NHRA ? My real name is right there in Black and White ( or maybe Gray) if you can figure it out. I will give you a clue, as I go by Dennis.

Bruce -- All the car companies "fudge" a little -- its their job .If you remember I had the first '97 Firebird Formula ILE Ram Air with an automatic transmission - did you think I had " Job One " ? ( that even sounds a little like Ford ) Anyway the new wave of muscle cars are here - get used to it .I'd still like to have one of those Mustangs - they really are neat ................

PS - You also must have forgotten about my factory backed Olds Cutlass in the Eighties - they did more than fudge - but like all the rest it does catch up .........As you should be able to tell by now I'm well aware of whar factories can do ........look what they did for the Hemi .
