Hate to admit it, but Ventura is right: We had to expect Chevy to dominate this competition. I didnt think a nataurally aspirated car would do it, as Turbos and Superchargers are so popular now, but Im still impressed by the relative simplicty of the car that took it.
So let me play devils advocate (somewhat). Do we all think a pump gas powered Pontiac can fall in the top five of this class? Seriously--900+ RWHP is what it takes to win here. Can Pontiacs do that with reliability and 10.0:1 CR? Youre talking to a kid who took the hard way to only 575 HP - i.e. 408 CI / 12.5 CR so Im not quite convinced, but with the stoker kits out there, 500+ CI is available to us Pontiac guys now; Can it be done? And even if it could....what would this cost? $25,000?
