I figure the 2017's will follow the same trend as the pre-MY17 cars.

With the performance package with Brembo brakes and 17x7.5 wheels available, they may put all the new cars in CS

Yea, I can see the cars with Perf Pkg being CS, but not the standard ones. I guess we'll see, even though I don't really care that much. This is why I drive in STX

Unfortunately, I do not think they will split the 2017 cars like the 2013-16 cars ( which I think was done to add some life to the spec WRX DS class). And it probably will ( that's where I am going). Last edited by solort; 11-24-2016 at 09:34 AM. |

The short 2nd gear will be interesting. Hopefully having to shift (or not shift) doesn't slow me down too much, but I think it'll be a fun challenge either way. I do hope the 2017 stays in DS though, the performance package with the 7.5" wheels isn't available on the Toyota as far as I can tell, think it's just a Subaru thing. If they are gonna split TRD and non TRD I think it'd be kind of weird of them to let the upgraded 2017 sit in the same class as standard, but who knows. I'm not trophying in nats this year anyway so it really doesn't effect me all that much. |

Why the exodus from cs? We can lower our cars and still stay in a street class. No other cars can do that. Who wants to look at ugly wheel gap on their daily? Are you one of the three that will place at nats? No? Then stay and make it fun for those of us who are staying!

Most of us are 1-3 seconds behind the top spots at nats regardless of car or class.

1) Kinda like it lowered. Hell, I'm driving through the snow like this. 2) Kinda lazy. 3) Don't think our chances in DS are really that much better than in CS, with the exception of the Subarus, whom have no choice. DS has been re-populated in a very haphazard fashion, and you're thinking that with all of those new entries that somehow a twin is hands-down the car to have. I expect that DS will be a clusterf**k of butt-hurt next year from anyone who thought getting moved there fixes their problems. 4) Been relying too much on the car to keep me up front. I could use a season to just work on driving. Bringing a knife to a gunfight and trying to win anyway helps me with that for some reason or another. I probably won't get all the way to winning, but the list of people beating me at the end of the season will be shorter than the list at the start. 5) No one locally has an ND.

I have several fast NDs in my region, but if I feel the itch to be competitive back again, I'll find another car to codrive. |

Looks like the FR-S still has it, appears to have brought home the victory at Florida prosolo despite giving up about 0.2 per side on the 60' times to the ND!
