The BRZ, FR-S, ND MX-5, and RX-8 have all gotten it done in CS National Solo...in the last four months.
The perception that there is a grand gulf of performance between a BRZ and TRD FR-S - laughably, coming mainly from the fan club for the two cars - doesn't match the reality. In the grand scheme of the Street category, both cars fit very neatly within the noise range of what constitutes CS class. And at the moment, CS is a popular and diverse class.
The ND MX-5 could and will likely build an edge in the CS trophy case over time. It's lighter, has better suspension geometry, and accelerates better. You still have to make the case that the twins, RX-8, NC MX-5, etc., have enough of a performance disadvantage to break the CS mold and not totally upset their destination class. Good luck.
For fun, let's say you convince the Solo board to cherry-pick the '13-16 BRZ and non-TRD FR-S for DS even though, honestly, we're mainly getting beaten by better drivers. Then I'm going to write the letter that all '13+ FR-S/86/BRZ go to DS because the ND MX-5 "beats" the whole lot. See how the deck chairs get rearranged?
