NHRA announces New Pro V8 Class!!!
My faith is now restored with the NHRA!
The National Hot Rod Association announced that, effective immediately, the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series has formed a separate category for the current and future competitors running V-8 performance vehicles.
The new category, Pro V-8, will compete at the remaining nine NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series events, beginning with the second annual Nitto Tire NHRA Sport Compact Nationals in Englishtown, N.J., May 4-5. NHRA officials also announced that the event purse for the new Pro V-8 category will be guaranteed and equivalent to the winnings for the Pro category with the race winner receiving $4,000, a $1,000 payout for a runner-up finish, and $500 for the two semifinalists. The Pro V-8 year-end championship bonus will also mirror the current Pro category with a payout of $25,000 for the champion, $10,000 for the runner-up in the standings, and $5,000 for the third-place finisher. The Pro class will now offer more parity in the category for its 4- and 6-cylinder and rotary engine hot rods.
With the formation of the Pro V-8 class, the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series is by far the most lucrative series in the country, with guaranteed year-end payouts for the six classes totaling $160,000. Guaranteed event purses for the series total $28,800.
"We knew all along that we would ultimately need to separate the V-8 competitors from the current Pro category to maintain competitive racing for all heads-up participants using 4-, 6- and 8-cylinder and rotary engine sport compact vehicles," said Jim Skelly, race director for the series. "With the current number of V-8 drivers and the number of anticipated participants in near future, we decided to accelerate our timetable and form this new category, beginning immediately."
The rules for Pro V-8 are carried directly from the existing PRO category. All engines must be overhead cam, of production origin (OEM block and head castings), and NHRA accepted, along with a maximum of one power adder. NHRA-accepted engines currently are Ford 4.6, 5.4 Modular, Olds Aurora, Cadillac Northstar and the Toyota/Lexus 4.7L. Minimum weight for turbocharged/supercharged entries is 2,550 pounds. Minimum weight for nitrous-oxide-injected entries is 2,350 pounds.
NHRA will continue to monitor performances and make adjustments as needed to maintain parity within the Pro V-8 class.
Competitors who received points at the first race of the season, the BFGoodrich NHRA Sport Compact Nationals in Gainesville, Fla., utilizing V-8 power in the PRO class, will have them carried over to the newly formed Pro V-8category. The current point standings for the Pro category have been adjusted to reflect the removal of the V-8-powered vehicles. An updated points standing is available for both categories here.

The reason why they did it was because they knew for a fact that everyone was going to boycott the next race if notting was done about the rules. Abel (Flaco Racing) was one of the major player and supporter in the rule change.
And as usual the NHRA had to eat their words in regards to the performance of the V-8's in the pro class.
According to the NHRA the V-8 cars would be handicapped and under developed in the begginning and the rest of the pro cars would still have an advantage in the performance department. I guess Matt Scranton with the Turbonetics Celica proved them all wrong when he ran 7.32@199mph. It's been proven many times before that you can make close to and above 2000HP with a turbocharged 5.0L V-8 with old school technology. Imagine the performance that can be produced from a 32-valve, DOHC 5.0L motor!

Laying Down Rotary Law
Guess what Pro-Mustangs soon to compete in "sport-compact"
The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is shaking back to the street – complete with the signature "shaker" hood scoop that made it one of the most collectable Mustangs ever.
The new 2003-model Mustang Mach 1 special edition makes its debut at the New York International Auto Show – 38 years after the original Mustang was introduced in New York.
In March 1969, the Mustang Mach 1 was named “the quickest four-person production car” ever tested by Car Life magazine, earning it a chapter in the history of automotive enthusiasm and securing its legacy for the future. The 1969 Mach 1 looked like it was in motion, even at a stoplight, thanks to the shaker hood scoop.
“Of all our Living Legends, Mustang might have the richest heritage. While everyone has a favorite, Mach 1 is one of the most memorable and most collectable Mustangs,” says Jim O’Connor, Ford Division president.
The 2003 Mach 1 is expected to deliver more than 300 horsepower from its modular (MOD) 4.6-liter, 4-valve, DOHC V-8 engine when it goes on sale at the end of this year. The preeminent pony car remembers its roots with functional performance upgrades and Mach 1 styling cues, including “comfort-weave” leather seats, a shaker hood scoop and today’s interpretation of classic “Magnum 500” chrome wheels.
Ford, which builds approximately 160,000 Mustangs each year, will build 6,500 Mustang Mach 1 special editions – on the same line of the Dearborn Assembly Plant that produces the V6, GT and Cobra Mustangs. Each Mach 1 will come with a unique serialization found in the vehicle identification number (VIN) to ensure exclusivity and collectibility.
The Mach 1 is the newest derivative to join Ford’s Living Legends lineup of cars, which includes Mustang, Thunderbird, the new GT40 and the Forty-Nine concept. Mach 1 pricing and detailed technical specifications will be announced just prior to public introduction.
Muscle Car Reborn
Newer, more efficient V-8 engines brought Mustang back to its roots in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1994, the Mustang was completely redesigned with many of the popular styling cues of the original pony cars restored. The new car featured a long nose, short rear deck, “C-scoops” on the sides, three-element tail lamps and the return of the galloping pony emblem on the grille. Mustang sales once again soared to the lead in its segment.
The high-revving, highly efficient, overhead-cam MOD 4.6-liter V-8 replaced the pushrod 5.0-liter V-8 in 1996 and assured Mustang’s longevity as a modern-day muscle car for years to come. The Mustang was freshened again with a new, edgier design in 1999.
Today’s Mustang
Just as the originals in 1964, the modern Mustang is a leader. It stands alone in its class, as the cross-town rivals, who in 1968 rushed to create a competitor to the original pony car, have now quietly departed the segment. Mustang has led its class for more than 15 years and is the best-selling convertible in the United States.
Today, Ford uses some of the same techniques it did in the 1960s to keep Mustang fresh by offering buyers a wide range of personalization options to meet their needs and pique their enthusiasm for driving. Mustang is offered as a V-6, a Mustang GT with a MOD 4.6-liter, two-valve V-8 and the top-of-the-line Mustang Cobra SVT with a supercharged MOD 4.6-liter DOHC four-valve V-8, all available in coupe and convertible body styles. Special limited-edition models, such as the Bullitt GT in 2001 and the new Mach 1 are designed to offer collectors and enthusiasts a modern Mustang with an infusion of muscle-car memories. They keep the flame of pony car passion lit today and promise a bright future.
“A powerful nameplate like Mustang doesn’t come around too often in our business,” says O’Connor. “Our lineup of Mustangs and special edition models are designed to turn today’s customers into tomorrow’s enthusiasts. Mach 1 is a glance in the mirror of Mustang’s storied past, but it’s steering straight into the future of Mustang and promises that there will always be a Mustang in the Ford lineup.”
2003 Mustang Mach 1
The new Mustang Mach 1 was born out of the passion of Mustang enthusiasts across America. Team Mustang, fresh on the success of the 2001 Mustang Bullitt GT, created a “one-off” project car in the summer of 2001 and took the car to various Mustang Club events across the country. The Mach 1 was shown, not as a concept car, but as an experiment to test the market of Mustang fans for more special editions.
“People dropped their jaws when they saw the Mach 1 for the first time, especially when we blipped the throttle to demonstrate the shaker,” says Scott Hoag, Mach 1 program manager. “These grassroots events started chats all over the Internet of fans telling us to build this car.”
The project received the green light in the fall of 2001 as a limited-edition model designed to bridge the gaps between the past, the present and the future of Mustang.
The Scoop on Design
Mach 1 was designed in Ford’s Living Legends Studio in Dearborn, Michigan, where all other Mustangs, plus the Thunderbird and the GT40, are designed. The Living Legends Studio, which also directed the design of the Forty-Nine concept through Ford’s California Design Studio, was created in July of 2000 to bring together the creativity of designers involved in related iconic cars of the present and future.
“Ford is known for great trucks and SUVs,” says J Mays, Ford Motor Company vice president of Design. “But it’s our Living Legends that put the polish on the Ford oval and make people dream about cars again.”
The Mach 1 features exterior enhancements that visually and emotionally connect it to the 1969 Mach 1 fastback.
Perhaps the most visually arresting and totally unique design cue on the Mach 1 is the “shaker scoop.” But in keeping with performance Mustang heritage, the scoop is not only appearance enhancing, but functional. The “ram air” scoop, fitted through an opening in the hood, channels fresh air directly to the intake runners increasing the breathing and optimizing intake turbulence for improved power and torque.
The scoop operates on similar principals to that of its forebear, but because the 1969 Mach 1 was a carbureted engine, it was a much simpler task to mount the scoop atop the carburetor in place of a traditional air cleaner.
The “shaker scoop” on the 2003 Mach 1 is mounted atop the intake manifold and directs air through a secondary filter box to the intake. The intake also pulls cool air from the front grille to ensure free breathing. “At first, our colleagues from other teams thought we were crazy,” says Hoag. “After all, modern engines are so well tuned and balanced, there really is no ‘shake,’ so people asked why we would bother with a ‘shaker’ hood. But Team Mustang is full of enthusiasts who know what it’s like to pull a Mach 1 up next to a Chevelle SS with cowl induction and show off.”
The scoop and the center powerdome hood are finished in low-gloss black.
The seats are covered in one-of-a-kind “comfort weave” black leather that is reminiscent to the material that was unique to the original Mach 1.
The C-pillars feature a unique trim appliqué that gives the roofline a subtle throwback appearance and distinguishes the car further from a GT. To enhance the low-to-the-ground appearance, the car features more prominent rocker-panel moldings and another classic Mach 1 trait, an air dam extension, painted low-gloss black. A low-gloss black stripe runs the length of the side just above the rocker moldings.
Mach 1 is available in Oxford White, Black, Torch Red, Zinc Yellow, Azure Blue and Dark Shadow Gray clearcoat finish.
The experience of sitting inside Mach 1, with its woven leather seats, is a blast from the past. The seats are covered in one-of-a-kind “comfort weave” black leather that is reminiscent to the material that was unique to the original Mach 1. The seats offer increased lateral support and four-way adjustable head restraints.
The center stack and shifter bezel are painted in a gray accent finish and highlighted by an aluminum shift boot ring and aluminum shifter ball. The accelerator, brake, clutch and dead pedals are polished aluminum. The gray-backed instrument cluster features unique retro-look dials. Mach 1 comes standard with the Mach 460 six-disc in-dash CD changer audio system.
The MOD 4.6
The powerplant that shakes the scoop and the competition is a MOD 4.6-liter, 4-valve, dual-overhead-cam V-8. The engine makes use of specially calibrated cams, a modified upper intake to accommodate the ram-air system, a heated PCV, a forged crank (cast crank in automatic transmission application) and performance exhaust manifolds combining to produce an expected output in excess of 300 horsepower. Upon completion of testing and certification, actual horsepower and torque data will be available.
Under the hood
Putting the Power to the Road
The 2003 Mach 1 will be available with a choice of a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission with electronic overdrive. The 4R70W automatic transmission is upgraded with a heavy-duty gear-set, auxiliary fluid cooler and brazed 11.25-inch torque converter to withstand the added power of the Mach 1's MOD 4.6 V-8.
Mach 1 uses a new rear axle with a high-torque differential and a 3.55:1 axle ratio.
Mach 1's suspension matches its power with crisp road manners. The vehicle is lowered one-half of an inch compared to the GT and uses a firmer suspension for better-balanced ride and improved handling characteristics. The performance-handling package includes:
New front and rear coil springs with adapted load and rate
Re-valved Tokico© struts in front and shocks in rear
Unique stabilizer bars front and rear
Added frame rail connectors to stiffen the body
Thirteen-inch Brembo® front rotors and performance calipers provide excellent stopping capability. The calipers have a black-anodized finish and are visible through 17-inch Magnum 500 wheel spokes when the car is parked, or when it is cruising the streets. Mach 1 comes standard with ABS and traction control.

I still don't agree with them allowing domestic based V8's to compete in an Import oriented sport. I guess that's why they changed the name to Sport Compact Racing!
I still don't understand why the 4-rotor is not allowed in the Pro-class!

Bolt a pair of valve covers on top and put some redunant camshafts underneath them and pretend it's a V6 or something 
BTW kabooski - where have you been? the SOHC and DOHC 4.6's have been in Mustangs since 1996.
