Top 10...

), & the car must be active this year.
My question is, do we still limit this to LSx powered cars, or Camaros, Firebrids, GTOs & Vettes? (meaning do we allow all of our new-found Mustang buddies in, or the Viper?)

But... if we open it up to anyone on the forum, are we gonna have a bunch of Mustangs in there? I think that seems like a bad idea. Nothing against the Mustang guys, but this is a GM-oriented forum.
Personally, I think it should be limited to LTx/LSx cars.

All you have to do is go over to stangnet or a mopar website and you'll see how many of their fastest lists have LS1/LT1 cars on them. 
I think we should include any Camaro, Firebird, or Corvette for sure, regardless of year... maybe any Chevy, including trucks. But sorry to the Ford/Mopar guys, gotta draw the line somewhere, ya know?

Why not just keep the original Top Ten rules in effect for the other list/s? Any F-bod, Vette or LS/LT powered vehicle, etc......I am sure I am missing some there but you get the point.

But on the other hand, if they are a member of the CCC, then it only makes sense to allow them,, even though THIS site isn't a CCC site........aw hell, I have no idea where I stand.
I say let em in if they want. It's the "NW Top Ten", there are plenty of lists on this site specific to ls1/ls6. If they are good enough to race with and be in the club...LT1's also. Or a list specific to lsx's and a general list, or?

Edit: here's the list I've been working on (ideas/insight?);

I like the rules of the original top ten. Part of the list is to compare other cars\mods with your own. But that is just my opinion there was a huge debate over the top ten rules and I think the outcome was good, except that it was only 10.
If you do let all GM vehicles in I'd keep a larger list IMHO it would be more of a pain to administer but then everyone can get involved. Even the slow 98 verts

Would be nice to have at least a list to compare mods and times. So when I do decide to get a cam(hmmm) I can compare what I see for times and how I hear the car with it sounds and idles etc...since I see most of you at the track. I might make close to #25 on the list too! lol

I'm getting kind of a bad sense here, so felt it time to input a little
We don't race for NW LS1tech, we race for NW fbody. The last 5 years I've been in the club it's always been either "Team NW fbody" or just "NW fbody". No mention of LS1, LT1, SBC, BBC, 6 banger etc. of any type at all. It's even been made clear in the past that other models, and even other makes are welcome to join us, race with us, hang with us etc. Would we now exclude them/me from this list ? It would be a bit ridiculous IMO to exclude my '71 just because it doesn't have an LS1 in it. It's as much of an fbody as any 4th gen IMO, maybe more since mine was actually made in America
Including Non-LS1/LT1 cars in the list in no way hampers anyones ability to compare their car to anyone else's.
