A little more clarification on the rules.

The reason for the emissions rule is that I'm in Ontario, Canada. The current rule is that anything older than a model year 1988 is emission exempt. Anything newer will have to pass smog test to drive it in the road.

As for the motorcycles, no, they aren't allowed in the competition due to the obvious advantage.

While I like the idea of a big block engine in a small/light car, as pointed our, traction is a problem. I like the V-8 Miata (though I don't think it would be particularly cheap to do) I think traction is a problem. I don't know of any running low 12's. Oh, by the way, that would be the current goal with this vehicle since that's the current record in this competition (12.60 @ 112mph).

I had a Cobra replica with a basically stock 5.0L that ran 12.89. The second one I built had about 80 more HP, roughly the same weight, and ran 13.25; traction was a serious problem.

I think it was Hot Rod magazine a while back that had an article about stuffing a 500ci Caddy engine in a Chevette. Now that was nice!
