They're only a hand full that run quicker than 9.0. The rules keep getting more liberal. I for one am building a faster car than my old one. Using the original rules, no 4 link,sheet metal intake or 14.5 tires. All of these stated cars are fast. But to put it in perspective a 600 cu 2500 lb AH car would be legal. I do like the competition and no electronics. Never met a racer I didn't like in N/SS either.
