Stock suggestion #3

njk53 · 09-11-2014, 02:46 PM

The factory race cars have a huge advantage over cars built in the 60's, 70's & 80's just from a technology standpoint. For example distributorless ignitions, roller camshafts, overall vehicle weight, etc. They make big power with small cubic inch right out of the factory. But the thing that really grinds me is the fact that these cars have bogus non-production coil over suspensions and are not using the stock type components they come out of the factory with. And how about camshafts with .600 lift + plus fuel injection units that are so much more efficient and make more power over a carburetor.

I am OK with the technology aspect with the late model cars, but they should be held to the same rules as the older cars right down to the suspensions and engine specs. The combos they race need to be available to the general public bought from a dealer.

These cars are purpose built race cars and nowhere reflective of a vehicle that comes off of the showroom floor.

I agree with a comment somone made, the factory cars should be in a modified production class not stock eliminator.
