I know this is sorta *off topic* and I hail from the enemy camp, but being a S/S junkie I've been following this thread from the beginning and noticed a couple folks wondering exactly *how* the 'Vettes got into SS/A or what *politics* were involved...I realize that for '06 the NHRA is allowing folks to play class musical chairs of sorts (which I'm not sure I like or not, yet), but while there aren't a lot of them campaigned there were some SS/A Chevrolet combos originally.

Anyway, for those of you brave souls still with me, here's Chevy's SS/A offerings (that is from '70 on when A was 6.00-6.49), and I pulled the "back then" info from my vintage NHRA class guide:

Back Then:
'67 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.21 @ 495hp
'67 L88 (427/430hp, 1x4 carb, al. heads) = 6.33 @ 480hp
'68 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.32 @ 495hp

Today:
'67 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.41 @ 495hp
'68 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.32 @ 495hp

Somewhere along the way they lost the L88 combo? Also, I hate to detract from this great thread, but I would like to hear if any of the above combos are running out there? THANKS!
