THEY'RE NOT ALL CAMAROS - CHECK OUT THIS NEW NEW PRO STOCK MUSTANG | Competition Plus

While NHRA Pro Stock has a large share of Chevrolet Camaros, it's the new Mustang to be driven by Cristian Cuadra that has rolled out of RJ Race Cars and Quarter-Max that will have everyone talking. The 2023 Mustang was built for Othell Welch, and Cuadra will look to put it in the Countdown to...

I like it, At least it’s not a Camaro

I look more like a Mustang than that car!

Richard Freeman has his red Pro Stock RJ Mustang for sale on Racingjunk. Nice piece.

 

[Cliff]

Randy, is that tempting you? heh heh

That new car is slick. I really like the Mustang PS cars.

With a GM engine.

 

[Butch]

Just another Funny Stock race car. Still using a GM based engine.

The word "stock" should be removed from this class. There hasn't been anything stock about pro stock for several decades.

Honestly, "stock" hasn't meant "stock" for quite some time in racing. Over in the dirt track world, this thing is called a "street stock"

You're right. NASCRAP hasn't been stock really either since the 80s.

I like it but if I showed up in anything that remotely looked like a Ford my friends would disown me.

I know some of you guys are throwing rocks at Pro Stock cars. But before I bought my "Camaro" built by RJ Race Cars I hadn't been very close to Pro Stock cars at all except for Jeg Coughlin, Jr who let me look inside his in the staging lanes once at Pomona.

After looking mine over (I bought it from JR Carr to run in Top Sportsman) and climbing in and out and underneath it I can see why they get a lot of money for these things. The workmanship and the amount of work to build one of these cars at RJ is astonishing. I was so blown away I couldn't help myself so I called Rick and Ricky Jones and told them I had never seen anything like it. I think to them the quality of car they build is standard procedure, but to a guy like me who has been beating on Top alcohol funny cars for years, sometimes I would just sit in it with the doors off just staring at the inside of the thing in total amazement at the fit and finish everwhere you looked, the beauty of the carbon fiber work and unbelievable craftsmanship that goes into one of these cars.

Anyway, that's my two cents! Not that it matters!

Just put a Camaro sticker on the windshield, It's worked before.

 

[Cliff]

Right Harry. Think of Force's "Camaros" a few years back.

I wonder if my friends would even notice....or care!

How much does a GM engine actually resemble a GM engine in these cars

 

[Cliff]

Well, it kinda, sorta looks like a Rat motor...... heh

Zero. Not a single part of a Big Block Chevy would fit a DRCE.

I've said this so many times, but why the obsession with "stock appearing" race cars, especially in classes that are very, very fast? When I see a modern FC, it looks like a land based missile, and it is. When I see a PS car, I see an engineering marvel that looks badass. We have classes for cars that look real close to production cars, and are scary fast, such as the FSS cars. When Pro Stock started over FIFTY years ago, they really were street cars with slicks and hood scoops (I'm exaggerating but you get it), what we have now is a result of progress. And as far as what's under the hood, given the parameters that Pro Stock engines must follow, things evolve to an optimum design. So, I don't get hung up on the all GM thing, I do however think having different body types is good for the class. Just my pre-coffee 2 cents, LOL.

Speaking of Pro Stock. My son is here right now going through my albums, looking for something new (old)
to listen to. He says dad did you see this car run and I said no, it was a Eastern Seaboard car, I don't
think it ever came West. But I did see the band in 1978 or 79.
From Canada it's Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush great band and Frank is a fine guitar player. This album
is from 1980. Did anyone see the car run? Good looking Dodge Omni
