The min. weight w/ driver for U is 3410 for the 71 Torino and 3030 for the 72 Comet/ Maverick. These figures are according to Dwight's site. A very useful source for info.

I ran one of these very cars in the mid 70's. Fun and different.

Class is without driver in Stock. Shipping weight/factored hp.
All cars are allowed to run at the class minimum .

U/S minimum is 20.00 lbs/HP.
The 72 Comet GT (143hp/2864 lbs) is 20.02 for U.
The 71 Torino (162 hp/3305 lbs) is 20.40 for U.
71 Torino min. for U is 3240. Drop 65 lbs and this combo is a technical match for the Comet.
