An example; I ran SS/G with a '67 Camaro 396, 325 HP. These cars, showroom stock, but with better traction, would run 13.90 -14.10. But set up as a legal SS/G, we were running 10.90-11.00's. Today, I see some guys with this combo have run 9.90's! Hardly stock!

'ric- i am glad to hear someone else make this comment about what is considered "stock" nowadays...I always considered stock as what the engines/drivetrains originally came with... just like the pure stock or whatever they call it for muscle cars... we hear of TA's running 12's when we all know there is more than a little deviation from original stock to get those numbers..I for one would like to see real stock races where differences are driver ability,not changing the drivetrain from stock and calling it stock...Yes, I am REALLY glad to hear someone else make this point... hat's off to 'ya on this subject..................
