Quote: As far as "no warranty, no play", with all due respect...... that is simply a "convenient decision" drawn up to keep the Chebs competative.
Its a cynical decision which most MOPAR people are accustomed to seeing from ruling bodies who are scared that Chrysler will chase the opposition away.
Quote: Mopar turned the tables and got the L88 bounced from the NHRA guide before it could beat the Hemi cars to the 8s in S/S...I believe this was just prior to the debut of SS/AH?
Well I'm glad i stirred up some debate, and I've learned a bit about "the enemy" in the process.
@ Chev 454 (Rob) - With all due repsect, your answer above doesn't address the issue related to the 70 1964 Hardtop Hemi "non-package" cars and why they are not allowed?
They were warranteed, and road registered, and dealer ordered.
So far I haven't read a decent reason as to why they are disallowed.
FWIW I don't live in your country and I don't know a lot of the "history" or "ins and outs"...but on the face of it - it sucks.
If I recall, the main issue was with the exhaust.
Ironically, about the same time the big debate in PS/FAST was raging over this car, the NHRA was doing a dance of it's own: started out they could be steel and/or aluminum nose, then aluminum nose only, then they reversed it, then they added the NASCAR single-4bbl Hemi...it was like a soap opera there for a bit. Just something polarizing about that combo...
