"Boo...I just got a call back from NHRA corporate and the definition of UNALTERED is "as the vehicle came directly from the manufacturer". Dealership added components ALTER the vehicle. This rule is mainly for Ferrari's, GT500's, Corvette ZR1's, etc that from the manufacturer will eclipse 11.49 in the quarter mile. I have another call in to them to clarify one more time. If this is true then the rule does not fit me and I and any Mustang or changes the Cold Air or exhaust will need to adhere to the older rule."

I'm referring to like truly altering the car specifically for drag racing. How will they know if your car has cams installed, forged internals, etc. unless they tear into your motor. Now if you show up with a full 4-link with 28.5s on a balk half car, with a OE body about the only thing stock, then that's altered.
They won't check for the small bolt-on things.

Yea, I agree... if its an 08 hardtop (it says no t tops or verts, dunno if a Corvette Targa is included) that runs slower than a 9.99 and 135 doesnt need a cage anymore... unaltered in the past meant no changes to make the integrity of the chassis different... doesnt mean STOCK motors...
My 08 Vette trapped WAY over 135 anyway, so I dont regret selling it still. lmao
Edit, read what PP said, I hope that's not the case, no one races a fucken STOCK car anyway, at least no one in TX... lol this rule might help one dude in all of Texas go race his Ferrari once. haha

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

If its only for showroom stock cars, who gaf. No one here has a 100% stock car. Its a cool idea, but lame execution. There aren't THAT many cars in the world STOCK that run under a 11.50 anyway.

Like I stated earlier they won't check, especially at the 1/8th mike tracks since most aren't Nhra tracks.

Haha, wow. I like to get it done early and not worry about it. Waiting to the last minute is just way too stressful for me.
