Having two classes (AS and BS) with a PAX .001 difference (for the sake of
the argument, I'm going to assume that these were reasonable PAX numbers to
use) seems absurd. Then there's a big jump in PAX from BS to CS and a big
jump from AS to SS. Since SS, AS, BS, and CS are ALL RWD sports cars
(except for the unproven tuner ponycars), I doubt there's a great reason to
split up cars by how different they look. Just use performance.
Assuming that premise is correct (I'd definitely entertain contrasting
opinions)... then it seems to me like the dominating BS cars (S2000 and
Boxster) need to move up to AS so that what's left in BS will lower it's
PAX to something more like .820. Then hopefully we'd have something like
these PAX values amongs the RWD sports cars:
SS .836
AS .828
BS .820
CS .812
ES .802
The RX-7TT dominated the C4's when they were both in SS, so moving the
RX-7TT IMHO would violate the SAC's intent. I think the Boxster S has shown
enough competitiveness to compete heads up with the Z06 so I wouldn't buy
moving it down. OTOH, if Bob Tunnell can't make a stock car do well (E46
M3), I don't know who could. That car should be in AS.
So I guess I'm in favor of part of Concept #1, and part of Concept #2 in
the Fastrack.
