Jason Line said it is real slippery. Sort of curious now. 1959 Bugeye Sprite 1967 Charger Black L code 1967 Coronet R/T Convert Green 440 auto bought from original owner 1968 Charger R/T Bronze 440 4 spd console AM/FM 1969 Super Bee WM21H B5 A40 D21 N96 1969 Barracuda Formula S 340 Convert pilot car 1969 Hemi Road Runner RM23J D32 Omaha orange 4.10 Dana N96 N85 1970 Super Bee WM23N FE5 V1X 3.91 axle package, N96 1970 Road Runner RM21N B3 V1X D13 1971 MG Midget 1971 Road Runner RM23H GW3, A57 1972 Road Runner RM23P FY1, D21

I'm sure they'll lengthen, narrow, swell up, etc. whatever they need to. Kinda like Nascar...only way to tell what kind of car it is is by looking at the decals on it.

I think they should go back to making them take a car off the production line and gutting it out and building a car. Stock body panels and lights even if they aren't funcional. but what kind of light are you going to get out of the decal on the front? Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!

That would help out the more stock look right away. 1959 Bugeye Sprite 1967 Charger Black L code 1967 Coronet R/T Convert Green 440 auto bought from original owner 1968 Charger R/T Bronze 440 4 spd console AM/FM 1969 Super Bee WM21H B5 A40 D21 N96 1969 Barracuda Formula S 340 Convert pilot car 1969 Hemi Road Runner RM23J D32 Omaha orange 4.10 Dana N96 N85 1970 Super Bee WM23N FE5 V1X 3.91 axle package, N96 1970 Road Runner RM21N B3 V1X D13 1971 MG Midget 1971 Road Runner RM23H GW3, A57 1972 Road Runner RM23P FY1, D21

Greatest show on Earth and they can't get anyone to sit in the stands. If they go back to stock bodies in P/S Dodge would get killed, especially a Challenger against a Camaro. Challengers are HUGE!

Didn't say they had to use those cars. Make the manufacturers do what they did back then. Build a car based on what is needed for racing and then build the same body for the street. Back in the day the manufacturers would consult the racers and design something for them and build. Even if it was a BIW. Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!

With FI you are only moving pure air, less dense, through the intake. Therfore the manifold design changes greatly. Can be lower and smaller and still get the job done. 1959 Bugeye Sprite 1967 Charger Black L code 1967 Coronet R/T Convert Green 440 auto bought from original owner 1968 Charger R/T Bronze 440 4 spd console AM/FM 1969 Super Bee WM21H B5 A40 D21 N96 1969 Barracuda Formula S 340 Convert pilot car 1969 Hemi Road Runner RM23J D32 Omaha orange 4.10 Dana N96 N85 1970 Super Bee WM23N FE5 V1X 3.91 axle package, N96 1970 Road Runner RM21N B3 V1X D13 1971 MG Midget 1971 Road Runner RM23H GW3, A57 1972 Road Runner RM23P FY1, D21

I know I wouldn't be excited to scrap years of R and D to make such a change since winning is the end goal. Next you got to discuss making a stock body as safe and stable at 215mph. can't be a change just for change, it needs to be effective change. Adriel Paradise Substation Design Engineer III

Look at drag week. Personally I couldn't care less about the pro stock cars of today, much less top fuel and funny car. The races are boring they are either going to shake the tires and shut it down or make a full pass right beside the other guy....boring. X275 and 10.5 races are much more interesting

NHRA says the noses "follow production shapes", but there's no way; seems like the loophole is that the manufacturers supply the templates and NHRA accepts a pretty loose interpretation. Just look at the fascia, hoods, fenders & quarter panels: if they weren't carbureted V8s on gas with a stick, they'd pretty much be ProMods.
