Default Re: 2012 Camaro in the NHRA Classguide

If NHRA put it in the guides and mandated the factory pulley sizes(like they do on the Cobra Jets and COPOs) the platform would not be very competitive. A lot of what the aftermarket does to the CTS-V would not be allowed per the rulebook. No pulley changes, No blower swaps, No Throttle Body changes, No mass air housing changes, No high lift cams, these are all things that people that are running fast with the CTS-V are doing.
Gentleman, the CTS-V in the video is showroom stock. The Mustang is the car that had several modification done to it. The Mustang is factory rated 100hp more than the CTS-V yet could only beat the CTS-V by .5.

Let's forget the CTS-V thing for a moment and say I wanted to build a new Corvette that has the same engine combination. Hmmmm, turns out that that combination is not listed either. Again my concern is with GM when they tell me:

"We won't compete "against" ourselves. That is a no-win situation. Whether you agree with that strategy or not, that is our plan."

It seems to me what GM should be concerned about is placing winners in the winner circle regardless of model and giving all production cars exposure. The COOPs are not production cars, don't have VIN #'s and cannot be driven on the street. Not to mention have a FORD rearend. Yet they are allowed in stock. Don't get me wrong I'm not against the COOPs, just feel I should be able to build what ever combination I choose as long as it is a production car.
