I thought they already had, I thought the NHRA had made exceptions for late model cars?

The NHRA �Street Legal Style� events do not include the regular competition programs at most tracks, such as the Summit Racing Series. Nor does it include many special events that still follow regular NHRA/IHRA safety rules, such as Drag Week. Street Legal Style events are on-track alternatives to illegal street racing . . . a �gateway� series to get folks used to coming to the track. The Street Legal exception does not mean that a Hellcat owner can just bolt on slicks and show up at any track at any time and get to run 10.80s in any event without a legal roll bar, SFI vibration damper, SFI trans shield or bellhousing, etc.

I don't see the confusion here. That should not be allowed to run without the proper safety. There is no rule that even comes close to allowing that Caddy to run 10.50's as is. There is a huge difference between a car that run's 10.8's from the factory and one that runs 12.'s from the factory and modded to run 10.8's.

This was filmed at my home track and from talking to the head starter and tech guys it seems they're going to view a stock car with some drag radials bolted on, still stock. You could always argue that a modern 08+ car capable of sub 10-11's from the factory is probably safer than most racecars with a rollbar and harnesses. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

It now runs 9.38-9.42 in the 1/4 mile done about 3 weeks ago @ SGMSP. PS I had company and did not get finish last night.I went to buy a Viper in NC and the owner said if it did not run 11.20's he would give me my $$$ back or I could wait to Saturday night before buying and we could go to the track and he would show me.While I was test driving it he told my friend the owner was selling it to buy this Special Corvette to make a long story short even after seeing it I still wanted the Viper but after driving it,I now own it.It come from Callaway with 790.92 RWH the shop that does our machine & dyno works Son-N-Law races n the 275 class so he knew the mods I needed to make and with a Cam,Pulley(SuperCharger)Head change and a $700.00 Tune & Chassis Dyno makes 1,017 RWH.And the 1 9.42 & 2 9.38 pass's were made at SGMSP with 3.42 rear gears and the Street Nitto NO5 12.5"Drag Radials through the full 3"exhaust with Kooks 1 7/8" headers that the Wife and I drove 135+ miles one way to get there.This Vette drives like a street car not a race-car its the LT4 package it has power everything A/C & Heater (LT1 is the basic Vette with the LT4 being the top of the line,the LT is the car package nothing to do with the LS3 engine) it runs smooth as my Lincoln Town Car @ 45 mph & in 6th gear @ 2,000 RPM runs 80 mph. I see no reason if Mopar makes the HellCat Challenger with the same minor changes it won't pick up a Second and a Half and remain Streetable. Be forewarned I know all of you on here or either Racers or like Fast cars and if you drive one of these Super-Charged or Turbo-Charged Vettes you will buy it on the spot and not wait for Mopar to release the HellCat.

Just like a Hennessy Viper is not a factory offering from Dodge, is it faster? Of course, but again not a factory offering. 68 Cuda Notchback [Email]10.86@120[/Email] 69 Charger R/T 440/505 2009 Challenger SRT8
