The top speed in gearing is not enough to make up the difference. It would really kill the 13-16 Twins if allowed in DS, IMHO.

If the 2017s end up in DS and are demonstrably better than the 13'-16' then I'm done with SCCA. They mess with the street classes too much and their "philosophy", as I was told by one of the SEB members, is to put the popular cars where they can win, and not worry about the less popular ones. CS is already going to be ND Miata or bust. We saw that this past year just in the first season of the car it pretty much smoked the competition. If they move us all to DS and then let the 2017s be the car to have I'm not playing these car swapping games anymore.
