50 year old DESIGNS is what Bob said---and I agree wholeheartedly. Regardless of how highly refined the engine is, it has a single camshaft, pushrods, carbs, and a distributor. If it were up to date, we'd probably see 3 or 4 valve heads, double overhead cams, variable valve timing, electronic fuel injection, traction control, all wheel drive, and a myriad of other updated technologies...and IMO would then more closely resemble a pro STOCK car then what we have now!!!! Also, as Hoss mentioned, we'd be watching Camaro's, Mustang's, Challenger's, and Corvette's because that is what is currently available with a V-8 off the showroom!!!! Maybe what we see as today's Pro Stock cars would be more accurately titled Nostalgia Pro Stock Facsimiles??????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
