I hope that this class succeeds ! Love this stuff !!

[@balloonknot3028]

Awesome car 👍 this is going to be fun to watch

[@danoc51]

Another great interview! I'm hooked on this channel!!! Compliments to your camera person for doing a great job! As a retired pro video guy, I will say that a good job of getting the video isn't easy, especially with productions that aren't scripted, such as you do here.

[@seancampbell4288]

Love these cars. Hope it becomes the new “pro stock”

[@davidhenry792]

That's so cool!!!

[@dinomares5697]

Good job love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA

[@bravofoxable]

maaaaaan, that thing sounds healthy 👍👊

[@JaredR1996]

I’m just glad these cars are actually stick shift

[@nikdazley5236]

It's a liberty 5 speed like a pro stock car.

[@nikdazley5236]

Also sounds just like a pro stock car as well. There was a scoreboard error during the run and didn't show a time.

[@jjstock80]

Sounds more like pro stock truck but the car name was already taken

[@kirklandracing]

@@jjstock80 exactly which was a very competitive class but the Magnuson & Whipple will keep it very interesting.

[@lauragoulet8350]

Me toooo

[@misterhipster9509]

Clutchless shift, might as well be a Lenco. Yes I'm a dinosour. Pry my Doug Nash from my cold dead hands.

[@philfuglsang3617]

What pro stock use to be. Can’t wait.

[@prostockjunkie]

Randy Daniel's out of Vanceboro NC. did this over 10 years ago.

[@eddean6663]

I miss Modified Production.

[@jamesmcdowell6639]

I'm surprised that Joe nor Greg mentioned that the paint scheme is a throwback to Butch Leal's pro stock car from the 80's.

[@stevehoffmaster3361]

Putting some stock back in pro stock...THIS is what pro stock SHOULD BE !

[@markfarnsworth1]

The song of my people

[@philfisher7137]

Didn't NHRA kill Modified eliminator 40 years ago (one of the best group of classes ever). Oh, news flash! New class mega buck (like all NHRA classes) for sportsman racers. Don't get me wrong it's a great car. I'm sure NHRA will kill it with rules and objections until its dead. Remember Pro Stock Truck? Like all motorsports you have forgotten your roots and fans. BOUGHT race cars not BUILT!

[@rvea1985]

It’s not just Chevy, ford & dodge are in also.

[@WFORadio]

Should we do one of each? I think so.

[@rong4189]

Casual fan here…. So this class is above Factory Showdown I take it, with the lighter weight? Is Factory Showdown gone?

[@roudydog3063]

In a few years yes factory show down will fall by the way side just as the pro stock trucks did . What do you expect Greg's new car is close to 300 thousand dollars turn key and probably going into the high 6"s off the trailer. They will redistribute the other car's back down into the Super Stock ranks and rule book them to death to slow them down ( for a while). I say that because of the grey area racing that exists today. I started in the early 80s in Super Stock trust me there are no better tech's than in the lower Sportsman's. Greg was a Super Stock racer for years long before going to pro stock He is one of the best From The 80s 90s

[@eddean6663]

Larry Morgan had working headlights in the 80snon his Pro Stock

[@toddclark332]

Can I get one fire truck red please ❤🙏🇱🇷💪love it guys thanks for sharing see later

[@duanefendt7144]

Can y’all run with the street outlaws

[@themopar426]

alan johnson went 200 in the dodge soon nhra will be putting weight on them like factory showdown!

[@crodrc51able]

Oh yeah, that’s sexy. 👍🇺🇸💪🦅

[@jjstock80]

Sure sounds familiar 🤔looked like a production vehicle. Small block and manual transmission. PRO STOCK TRUCK BUT ITS A CAR😮😂

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

Cool Car! What Size Rear Tire?

[@THELTX427VA]

i think they said 10 inch

[@Wthan5175]

10.5 inches

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

@@Wthan5175 thanks, I some how missed that part.

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

@topfuel1732 thank you!

[@markfarnsworth1]

Saweeeeeeeeet

[@Mystic-l3r]

Vintage. Where does prostock go next year with Camaro gone?

[@mickcampbell8904]

Rod Shop Chebby? I thought Rod Shop was a Mopar deal

[@jamesmcdowell6639]

Yes and no. Rod Shop was with Butch Leal in the 80's on his Pontiac pro stocker.

[@michealbarnes1447]

I wonder if the car is a part number itself!😁

[@THELTX427VA]

i wish

[@earleholt4380]

Can we just call this Pro Stock?

[@markcatcash4688]

How I remember prostock until NHRA decided it needed to be IROC. make simple rules and let the manufactures duke it out vs trying to make one make win

[@josephfolsom2030]

Sounds stock to me🤪

[@michaelhenderson5098]

What size is the engine? He didn't say.

[@jdrix281]

It’s 350 cubic inches

[@Wthan5175]

I think it’s a 427 small block

[@michaelhalsall5684]

Supercharged 350 'COPO' engine as per the NHRA rule book.

[@jamesdash1906]

Looks like NHRA'S version of no prep. How about bringing back FUEL ALTEREDS ?????????

[@jacksonpray2308]

Its pretty much just a small tire NPK car

[@ChrisDavis-dt6xx]

Go Chevrolet

[@ishaanmann1073]

Similar to a NPK car hmmmm

[@rich1891]

No time run WTF...

[@Tegridynews]

Coyote Stock production parts 610 horsepower, vs LSX race crate engine 630hp Non production parts.. that's fine. 😅😮😢 I'm assuming a production LS engine couldn't compete Ford for the win

[@merylpelosi8485]

Calling this car being close to stock is a joke. Remember what happened last time they ran F/X cars and what they morphed in to? Why are all of these "Factory Experimental" cars so bereft of any "factory" parts. It's getting as bad as NASCAR.

[@terrygrover6440]

I like that class that there going for but you are 💯 percent right, we run all factory parts on our cars and then someone will give you a hard time even if we lighten the car up a little meanwhile you have guys out there racing the grudge cars with open floor panels in the back and no Trans tunnel and even with the fenders and hood off the car out there racing where does it ever stop I'd like to know

[@jdrix281]

Watch factory stock showdown then

[@THELTX427VA]

i understand 100 i would call this pro stock and factory x stock something else

[@prostockjunkie]

Yes

[@prostockjunkie]

You are correct. Randy Daniel's raced prostock truck back in the day. He took a pontiac sunfire factory body and put it on a tube chassis with a small block and a liberty transmission.

[@hdvictoryford5329]

The NHRA is dying. They have always favored. certain teams and brands. Factory x is supposed to save them? They already have slanted things. Chevy uses one kind of blower, Ford and MOPAR another. Ford runs the smallest engine, and it is by a lot of cu in. They made Ford go from turbos to s/c. The NHRA has long factored Ford and MOPAR. Not my words but racers words. They made Glidden carry more weight, Sox and Martin and others the same. Larry Morgan said of his pro stock Ford, it was a great engine and was very competitive, he qualified for almost every show. And he, LM said it to the wrong people. Certain teams and brands get special favors at the track all the time. I quit going over 20 years ago. Empty seats everywhere, the sponsors will be next to leave.

[@ryannnn_nelson]

what's so special about led lights in a carbon fiber front clip.. doesn't make it anymore of a street car and also doesn't bring all the fans back that nhra has been hemorrhaging for years.

[@Tegridynews]

An after-market LS. But why. That's cheating. Oh well I doubt it can still keep up with the snot-rocket, stock block heads, I think stock crank. And runs 5.s at over 200. Lmfao to the extreme levels the Chevy people will go to

[@precisiondiesel225]

To run 5s, the mph would be over 250mph. The snot-rocket mustang is not a 5sec car. 6sec car absolutely.

[@Tegridynews]

@@precisiondiesel225 the green mustang on drag and drive with a stock production engine racing Steve Morrison's smx billet engine. Vs Ford parts. Lmfao 😂😆

[@kirklandracing]

@@precisiondiesel225over 250 not so 😂

[@rashaddow]

Snot Definitely not a 5s car and take the turbos off and put a super charge on to be a fair comparison

[@Tegridynews]

@@rashaddow I'm just proving a point that they're using factory production parts, versus an crate engine. Lmfao
