That is one of the 4 criteria needed to have the car classified as a comp coupe.  You only need to meet one of them.   I'm sure you know you don't have to extend the wheelbase to be classified as a comp coupe.  Hooley only extended the wheelbase on the Stude this year.  Before it qualified due to the chopped top and also the full belly pan but it only needed one or those or an engine setback.

What are you building?

Welcome to the class.  That is what we are now running with Hooley's Stude.  The record is soft and should be over 300.  I don't know if we will ever get in that range but hope to possibly be one of the fastest Studes to run on the salt.  How about some build pictures and let us know if we can help.  Most of what we have done is on our web site....

I'm behind in posting the rest  :cry:.  The 24 inch extension is smart and needed with the turbos,
