Thanks for the information. I actually knew most of the rules regarding NHRA classes, but it was nice to have it all written out.

The reason this came up was because of a post where someone (can't remember who) was going to be running a "real street car", and was saying he would be the first 5th gen to be breaking into the 9's. I'd never heard that term before, so I wondered what it meant. Being that some of the 9's I've seen by Lingenfelter and Hennessey were generally tubbed out cars, but still looked street worthy with working head and tail lights...I wouldn't have been surprised if those cars would be street drivable with a change of tires.

So hence my question...which you answered.

I'm rather surprised that no-one has gotten 9's in a non-stripped 5th gen yet...I've seen some pretty nice builds...plus, since this is really an unofficial class....how do you really know you can make that claim?
