OK, I've read through all the STU-related posts from the weekend, and it looks
like we're down to two major items to solve:
1) Language for engine swaps (what is/is not allowed)
2) Displacement limits
For Item 1, someone is sending me the language that ProRally uses (they have a
similar concept) and I want to see how they've worded their rule. If it's good,
I may just steal it. :)
For item 2, we have two good solutions. Either one is completely workable, the
difference is which cars get included/excluded depending on which one we adopt.
Proposal A is:
Rotary : 1.500 litres
OHC : 3.000 litres
Pushrod: 4.000 litres
No allowence for induction type
Proposal B is:
Rotary: : 1.400 litres
Forced induction : 2.200 litres
OHC normally aspirated : 3.200 litres
Pushrod normally aspirated: 4.000 litres
The Pros and Cons as I see them are:
Proposal A
Pro
- allows for maximum range of engine combos
- allows more cars (Grand Prix, etc.)
- slightly simpler
Con
- top cars will probably need forced induction
- favours larger engines
- may allow a couple of potential "overdog" cars (Porsches)
Proposal B
Pro
- might be possible to build a non-turbo top car
- smaller turbos more competitive
- excludes a couple of potential "overdog" cars
Con
- excludes some target cars (Grand Prix, M3, Subaru WRX)
- smaller audience
- less engine choice
My personal inclination is to do "B", but bump the turbo limit to 2.4 to allow
the Suburu (I think it's 2.4 - I'll check tonight)
Let's put it to a vote - lemme know what y'all think is better.
