You sound just like me only I complain how most Porsches are treated!
Just look at all the cannon fodder in ASP: (I am using stock figures for
weight and hp...)

944/924S - 2800 lbs and 170 hp!
914-6 - 2200 lbs and 115 hp!
944 Turbo - 3000 lbs and 250 hp!

And here's a real laugh in BSP:

928 - 3400(?) lbs and 250(?) hp

Moving right along to CSP:

912 - 2400 lbs and 100(?) hp!
914 1.7 & 1.8 - 2200 lbs and 90(?) hp.

You will never see one of these cars competitive at the national level.

Classing is politics plain and simple. Look at the Civic Si in HS when
it used to be a competitive DS car. Sheesh!
