You keep saying this, but how can you think that combining GT & SS would not be the end to Muscle car era race cars?

They would not be comptitive at all. Plus in SS you have to use the correct engine/tranny for the car/year. Lots of these combos are not optimal. Which leads to more $$$$ for the old cars to spend to be competitive, well at least sort of competitive.

Dick it has been what 2 years since they have opened up pre 81 cars to run GT. Has anybody been successful (ie ran fast) doing this?

Another thing to rember is that under GT rules a car uses its heaviest shipping weight +/- 250 lbs to figure class eligibilty. So lots of the old cars have to use Big Block shipping weights for GT. Which makes them run much lower heavier classes than the are currently using. Which rules would you use GT or SS? If you use SS would the cavaliers and Cobalts be legal because of moving the firewall back? If so would everyone now be allowed to move their firewall back?
