Wow, talk about a story lacking facts! What about the Carrol Shelby 1967 mustang? That was the first vehicle.

 

[troublemaker427]

Maybe this could be the start of Roush going to Pro Stock.....

I believe those are still considered a "Ford", of course you could get away with a lot more back then. Then again maybe they are not NHRA legal for Stock and Super Stock??

With today's emissions laws the only way for Roush to sell the car is to become the manufacture of record and and take responsibility for emissions compliance.

 

[Tom Cowle's wife]

No, the shelby built mustangs are legal for Stock/SuperStock and I'm pretty sure they have thier own hp calculations for NHRA/IHRA.

The rules in SS read "no power adders" as well, I guess this was NHRA's small oversight???

no kidding, that discussion has been on going since the 03-04 cobras came out. Its interesting to see Roush get that car in when Ford has a spec non power adder car coming. I think its cool, but I am sure its gonna ruffle some feathers.

Feathers have already been ruffled, but the main concern is how NHRA is how well NHRA Tech is going to control the factored HP for these cars. No has really called for there removal, a lot of guys actually like the cars coming in, but the problem is correctly attributing a Factored HP rating suiting the potential performance of the cars. The current SS/A cars run 8.85-9.00's and the SS/B cars run 9.00-9.20's. If these cars debut running 8.50's, all hell is going to break lose. Quickest A car so far is Dave Thomas with an 8.69? in killer conditions. Going to be interesting how well NHRA teck manages this.

Saleen is supposed to be doing a blown Challenger, that should work too.

 

[Tom Cowle's wife]

It will be easy to police the amount of boost they are prescribed to run, a simple boost guage that maintains the highest boost reached will be checked along with the fuel check after the pass. To much boost equals exit from race.

no the Ford car coming out for NHRA Stock will be a 5.4 supercharged car. Looks like Roush wants in on some of this.
