All of there cars here are not making GS faster. Type R is probably still
car to have for Solo2 where classing is meant for. ProSolo type launches and
wet/slippery surface will give advantage to the AWD cars, but that is not
what is used for the classing in the first place. Type R still has the best
power to weight ratio and is much lighter than any of those other cars. None
of them have a clear overall advantage to the Type R.

So, since Type R is in GS and those AWD cars are not any faster, GS is not
getting any faster too. It is just as fast as today!

>How fast does the DSM GSX do the 0-60 in? 

0-60 is around 6.5 sec for the stock AWD DSM. The main reason for this time
is lack of gearing in the 2nd to make it to 60 without having to shift to
the third.

0-55 would be probably close to the times that are claimed for the WRX (at
least within a couple of tenths).
