Yeah and "Spec" is about the most loosely thrown around term.
Spec Miata is a poor example as you can have some dudes out there running a 40k Miata and a 15k miata.

SRF is much better example of "spec" racing, when you have sealed motors and very very specific rules where someone putting a hole in an air filter raises red flags.
