We've tested it time and time again at locals and national events and it's pretty much irrelevant which ND you're in. The ND2 is harder to drive than the ND1 because of various drivetrain protection systems that are undefeatable too, so there's that.
I still think you're barking up the wrong tree. Move the ND out of STR to be with the Fiata or make an STR2 and move S2k, NC, new Twin there and Fiata to STR.

False.
I'm barking up the correct tree. You gave more great examples of a new car coming out and killing the previous-gen or dominant car. STR S2k and NC were all but killed by the ND.
New generations of cars come out and are faster than the old ones. That's the way all racing disciplines work. Short of creating a new class every time a new generation of a car comes out, it's how it's going to be. The first-gen twins have had a long run of being competitive in multiple classes, but things change. If you buy a new car and expect it to be super competitive for 10+ years, then that's on you. There are cheaper classes that don't change often, see STS and ES.
