Super Tuner Car! Better than a spec Miata and a Ford Fusion put together!

It was never called the "COBB Challenge", but whatever? And 3100 pounds with driver is far from "portly". An STI in SCCA T2 trim needs to weight over 3400 pounds without driver. We could drop the weight down to 2,200 pounds and put the class well out of reach for the average racer's budget. When you throw in a heavy cage and portly driver you are still looking at pulling out over 300 pounds from a stock EVO and even more from a stock STI.

That's a good one. How is 3100 pounds not portly? The evo's that are built properly are currently weighing 2800 with driver and soaking wet. Thats not high budget lexan and carbon everything, thats stock body panels and factory glass, with a smart and thought-out build. If you don't believe me, ask about the ones being dq'ed for being under weight. Heavy cage? What are you building them out of? Lead?
What does an SCCA rule have to do with anything? Plus, i don't think a subaru will ever be an issue since they can't stay together long enough to finish a race anyway.
From what i hear this series will be dead before its inception due to poor rule-making and a general lack of experience amongst the makers thereof.
Cool site though.

But give it some time, the series is officially only a few weeks old.
