But is Chevys presence because Chevy is involved, or because the Camaro body is supposedly the most aerodynamic? I’ve heard from several people that the Mustang body is just as aerodynamic if not better, but I’ve also been told there isn’t enough proof with those cars to justify a switch when the Camaro is more than proven. In a class that is as close as Pro Stock and Pro Mod, you don’t want to give yourself any disadvantage by running a body that’s less aerodynamic. And as far as the get a life comment, everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you have always went to an ice cream shop and had several different flavors, then they start only having one flavor, you’re gonna get tired of that ice cream shop and the same flavor over and over. That’s Pro Stock in its current form.

I cannot remember the exact number but I heard Richard Freeman say the Mustangs they run are little slower than the Chevys because of better Aero for the Chevys. I would think he would know.

I have wondered that myself. However I saw someone speculate that one team was Matt Hartford because he has become very good at tuning the existing setup with its terrible air distribution inside the manifold.

Hood scoops are not going to get more people to like prostock. As long as it's still all Chevys, who cares?

NHRA has destroyed prostock.

The rule was changed because the majority of the teams wanted it not because it will put more @$$'$ in the seats.

mnfgr's next year (ford for example), that it may be easier to adapt. also mentioned there will NOT be one exclusive throttle body.
