      You might be legal in CP. That's what we are discussing right now.Just have to be over 3000lb maybe higher a couple hundred.



      Jason just poped in with the answer.. Brian maybe will step in and back that up...That would be much better then EM or XP like I was thinking.I know some PT guys with DSE frames 750 hp LS7 69 Camaros that have both 200 tw and soft compound for track event.This will be good news to them..They have a choice now CAM and CP.Thats why we have these chats here ,Not to scare but educate and prepare for more fun

Which imho is flat idiotic due to the fact in CP you can chop the frame up to the point it has no suspension parts that resemble the factory in any way. Do you really believe that Brian's car is at any disadvantage to mine because he still has the highly modified subframe?

      3000 + 300 (10% penalty) + 50 (wheels) = 3350

      I'm going to have to find that info in my 2013 rule book and highlight it.Thanks guys ..Maybe I should ask if a bored LS7 is legal in a 69 Camaro CP.I think so.

      Brian, I'm not picking on your car, I'm just familiar with how it's constructed so it's easy for me to compare. I'm having a hard time understanding the fairness in the weight penalty. As I stated before, I don't see the significant performance advantage I have over your car in regards to the subframe. I guess if I ever want to run CP I shouldn't put the car on the diet I was planning since I'm already too light.

      Tim,

      Actually, my modified stock subframe is better than yours AND you have a weight penalty. Sorry :-)

      Those are the rules SCCA has had for a very long time. There are rules and ways to take them to the limit.

      I know, that's what I find ridiculous about it and why I will likely never run an scca event. They claim all their rules are there to level the field but in fact they're not doing that, kudos to you for being smart and taking advantage of them. I suppose running a 315 street tire on the front will be penalized too?

      That's basically where I'm at, only with a second gen.
