Spec Twin?

Rumours abound that the SCCA is contemplating a "Spec Twin" class for FRS and BRZ solo cars. Thoughts and ideas?

The suggestion is very intriguing to me. Now four years in, I am getting quite bored with my CS... no wait DS car, but have too much love for my car as a quiet comfortable daily driver, to seriously think about STX.

I understand the proposed idea of a Spec Twin would fall somewhere in the middle of the Street and STX classes.

I sure would be excited for something like:

1. 8J wheels
2. TRD or Eibach Pro Kit springs
3. Bilstein B8 or OTS Koni yellow
4. Optional oil cooler, brake ducts and/or braided brake lines for those of us who like lapping days
5. A durable spec front lip/splitter... because it looks more interesting, and because I just replaced a cone smashed undertray.
6. Two sway bars?
7. Real camber bolts up front? Adjustable rear LCAs?

If there was a $3000 package purchase along these lines available at Tire Rack... would that feel like a reasonable value for the added performance.

Would it suck people backwards out of STX?

Having less diversity than any solo class ever has, would the class be unattractive to those who are not already twin owners?
