Other than name, nope. At least the Mustang GT bodies that Team Force is using and the GT500 body Tasca is using are representative of a car that is -

1. Currently available for sale
2. RWD
3. Available with a V8

Look at the F/C and P/S cars that are Monte Carlos, Firebirds, and Cobalts

At least Capps/Scelzi/Bazemore have switched to the new Charger body so they meet all three criteria as well. And I love how the P/S class is called "Factory Hot Rods" WTF Ever man...show me a V8/RWD Cobalt I can buy from Chevy and I'll believe it. I wish the NHRA would mandate a rule for P/S & F/C where your car had to represent a street car that met all three criteria above.
