This question of stock will never be answered to the satisfaction of everyone. It's a futile argument.
I'm not as extreme as most in defining stock, and at great risk of a beating by the "stock police", I would consider that stock only if that were a factory option with the M6. Once you start changing gear ratios or wheel/brake assembly conversions, it can be a slippery slope. Example being, the 4280 lb. weight some are using for the Demon record. Is putting a light-weight battery, draining fluids, removing anything else to get to the assumed Leah Pritchett 4280 weight still "stock". For some, the stock limits might be a battery change, but for others that's a no-no. I know wheel and tire changes could in some ways be viewed as changing gear ratios, but it's not cracking into the factory equipment.
My personal opinion allows wheel and tire changes only to still remain "stock". Factory stock would be defined as supplied by the manufacturer, i.e. stock wheels and tires.

I still like the idea of:
Factory Stock (As delivered)
Stock - to be used correctly in context, and among friends, following the "Rules of the day", violate the spirit of this and you become "one of those people".
Mod - As we've already discussed, this has so many versions, it's not a debatable thing, you're either modified, or not.

Well darn, I told the dealership to not touch a thing - that I’d remove the splitter guard, install the air deflectors, etc. having restored a couple old Mopars I know how hard it is to find those “day one” parts. I’m betting those items will be forgiven if I ever show up for pure stock drags.

Lots of factors to the equation. Cost of living, cost of Bud beer went from $1.86 to $6.50, union wages did not go down, raw materials that this country sold China sold em back to us, supply and damn demand. Being a product of sum time,, I watched this era in the makings and the oil industry had a lot to do with the taxes of the 70's and just did 1.5 years ago with this damn gas consumption tax hit us. Some how or another the government has had their sticky fingers in it any way you go. Is it all comparable or look at the C8 and the GT500 costings. I am impressed with GM's staying in the game. Costings and stylings.
