Will The 2008 CJ Stick Remain In Stock?

[Wayne Kerr]

Help me out here.
Is the "D" Dart the only car to actually get factored out of Stock?

If so, what if they allowed the Dart to move back into stock, since AA/SA didn't exist when it was ruled out?

All the safety concerns are a waste of breath, you drive everyday with 80,000 pound rigs on the highway, with 2" lap and shoulder belts and no roll bar in your daily driver.

Plus, 40 years of technology have made cars alot faster, heck, a current V6 Mustang has 300 HP.

Times change, and either you adapt or you become extinct.
Even Mr Jeff learned to use a new fangled computer.

See you at the races,

NHRA says the Ford only makes 235 HP in race trim with a larger throttle body, CNC ported heads and more cam. I guess the smog controls, lame computer, unported heads. and closed exhaust make more power.

Mr Tech man,
You are correct.
I am an Idiot and am not worthy of even posting on this subject.
You are and forever will be the one and only authority on NHRA S/SS racing.
I apologize for even having you put forth the effort to type a reply.
I will make it my lifelong journey to be able to carry your lunchbox one day.

Just stating the truth.....hard pill to swollow isnt it.

The 4.6 litre V8 is rated at 235 not the V6. But I am sure you no that.

But what I dont understand is WHY does everyone get upset when I say ANYTHING about the truth of the bogus HP ratings and the sham that Ford, Chrysler (and no doubt GM if they had a car) has made of stock eliminator? Get over it....I didnt do it nor can I change the fact that its all a joke unless NHRA gets their act together. . Just stating facts as I really dont care one way or the other anymore. I guess I just love to piss off these new car owners as a hobby ! I just laugh when one of these combos goes to fast and gets hit by the AHFS then the squeeling begins. I guess the truth hits home and it dosent go down easy or up depending on your position. Going fast means NOTHING with these cars other than the fact that you like to spend money that you dont have (well some anyway) to buy parts that you dont need to try to impress people you dont really like ! Enjoy your $4 a gallon trips to the circus.

It sure doesn't sound like you do too much laughing.

The way the CJ will get kicked out of Stock is the added ballast rule. Since a car can vary only a certain amount from its shipping weight, if the HP factor becomes so high that in order for the CJ to make class weight at 7.5 # per HP, it has to add more weight than the rules allow, it can no longer run Stock.

[MikeFicacci]

There is no rule for permanent ballast in Stock Eliminator. General Regulations set ballast limit at 500 pounds. With a shipping weigh of 3240, the CJ would have to be rated at 499 horsepower for the general ballast rule to take effect. That is, if the car is naturally 3240 pounds.
