SCCA Solo Car Class for the FR-S/BRZ?

[Jedi1]

R or X. Doesn't matter to me. ST is where ours will end up whatever the third letter ends up being. I look forward to running in either class!

Unless you leave it stock or want to run in prepared, at which point which stock class is very important. Especially with the provisional road tire groups (hopefully they just ban rcomps from stock classes outright), many won't want to invest the money to be competitive in an ST* class.

STX because they have the RX-8 in there similar power to weight.

or if they expand STF to not just be FWD and i swear yesterday they had 2.0L na subaru in there

If the cars land in CS, I think they can make their presence felt Nationally. They are not BS cars. I don't think they have the HP to compete there. And if they land in DS, then sure I'd love to have a stock class overdog for the few months they allow it to run there.

Our Mini left the house with a new owner two days ago leaving me with a set of 12 run A6's and a set of14ish run V710's. I don't care to walk the R comp path with this car as the 16" tires I am used to buying were right at $1000 per set Vs. a set of 17" RS3's in the mid $500 range.

Sure there is a ton of tuning in order to run competitively on the National level in ST. But, at the end of the day that just makes the car more fun to drive around town! I was fortunate enough to get a co-drive in an STF Mini at the Arkansas Tour last week and that car with it's ST tune was leaps and bounds better than my Stock class Cooper.
