What do you think the actual odds are the first gen twins go to ES in the next ~2 years? Seems nuts they're still there with the gen 2 and CTR.

If not, I've heavily thought about going to STX with SSC not being an option for 2017+. It seems these cars really come alive when you can get some front camber in them in either class.

I did some quick math and you basically need to improve your times 1.22% in raw to meet the same PAX position. For a prior event I did, I had a 36.343 and I'd only need a 35.899 to get the exact same score. The 245's with much wider whees, coilovers, and header + tune I think would easily offset those.

We had an STX driver getting a 34.036 on the same course. We had SSC drivers in the mid 35's easily and good drivers in the 34's. So to get a mid-35 or even high 34's's seems completely do-able with a fixed torque dip, 245's, Yoks, and coilovers.

Thoughts? DS is just nuts for this car. The gen 2's are a full second quicker on a ~30 second course.
