A realistic "spec twin" Autox class?

- Camber bolts
- Tires
- Open dampers
- Open sways
- "street tires".

No other mods. If you're so insistent on a "spec" damper, then make OEM spec. As you said, make it accessible. Less mods, more accessible.

Sounds eerily familiar doesn't it?

Torque dip doesn't need to be eliminated; everyone is subject to it. It's a "feature", not a "bug".

As always, deeper pockets mean larger advantage. If you want to eliminate the "deep pockets" advantage as much as reasonable, you can even:

- Spec alignment
- OEM 17x7 wheels only
- Spec tire (and size)


That class already exists
