Post Re: Superb Article On Current State of Stock Eliminator

No it was not a shot at FWD cars it was a shot at any car that MOST folks would consider not to be a race car, notice the word most. I understand that some can look at a station wagon and see a race car same with a FWD. car but most don't, so these type of cars are far and few, that is why i said it isn't the same as the new under rated cars we have now. I am sorry to the few that think they have a bad ***** station wagon or FWD. car because it will never be a 68 cuda/426 or an L88 vette. imo. Just because it can Qualify up top really doesn't mean much these days anyway.

I'm happy in your anonomous world 68 Hemi Barracudas and L88 Vettes are allowed in stock.
In the real world you can buy a DP or a CJ for what the body would cost for a SS/AH car

Talking Re: Superb Article On Current State of Stock Eliminator

I'm real sorry i used two of the greatest muscle cars made to make a point so i will try again because i'm sure you will never get it anyway. Let me change them to a 1970 hemi cuda or a 1970 LS6 chevelle, MOST would call these race cars, MOST! very few would call a neon a race car. but to each there own. but this has nothing to do with what is happening to stock eliminator at this time, so there you go!!!

You call a 1970 Hemi 'Cuda and a 1970 LS6 Chevelle a race car?
I believe they were production cars in the same fashion a Neon or any other FWD.

How did this get to be a conversation about wether a FWD car is a race car or not??

Mr Ruler, if that is your real name! If you do not believe that a FWD car is a race car, Bring you *** down put your car on the starting line beside my Non race car, and we will see what happens.. I get just a little sick of ignorant people saying that because my car has the slicks on the front and has a 4 cyl motor that it's not a race car. Close minded people with no Imagination that think that all race cars are V8 muscle cars, made between 1965 and 1972.

P.S. Ohh did I mention that my FWD Ford Escort is faster than Many of your 60's muscle cars were when they were new.

So people with station wagons and FWD cars are not considered to have "real" racecars?


Looks like I have a real racecar in my book.


On a side note it is a great article, however it isnt anything that will probably catch the eye of the NHRA. FX classes would seem to help both parties.
