As for moving to BSP, given that S2000s, C4s, STIs, etc are all living and playing in BSP, i'm not sure why it would be such an issue to move the GXP/RL to that class. In fact I'm not entirely sure why it was placed in ASP to begin with.

I also do not know why the GXP/RL was placed in A/SP either. Some can say that with the right mods (that at this time don't even exist) this basic engine family has produced upwards of nearly 1000 horsepower, and someone could hack up the body and put steamroller wheels and tires on it, and so on. But in the real would a little tiny voice says that the SCCA caught plenty of flack over the SS/B Sols (and may have given the Miatas a weight break) and C/Stock (Z0Ks) and didn't want to go through that again. Hell, there are some who said that the GXP/RL should have gone is S/S!!!!! But I would love to see our cars in B/SP, but C3 & C4 Corvettes live there too, and they are TOUGH. But once canned tunes and code free 3" cats get on the market the doors will be opened to some REAL horsepower that we will be able to tame with 10" wheels, shocks, etc. Could be fun!!
