I just had to jump in here. The Camaros were kept in FS when chevy went with
the 350 ... 50 cubes more than Mustangs or prev Camaros. The Camaros were kept
in FS when chevy built the 1LEs. Camaros have had wider wheels than most
Mustangs forever too. I would think that the only fair thing to do is to keep
it in F stock unless they supercharge it (where'd you get that???). I'm tired
of seeing all of those bowties anyways!
