I'm not sure about your assertion regarding the weight transfer. I just don't know. But I am 100% in agreement that better shocks will help either counteract or mask some of the handling issues.

Now, the B/SP issue. I truly believe it belongs there, but equally I truly believe that SCCA won't change us to B/SP. SS/B and C/S. If, and I mean IF, the GXP/RL was ever developed to the point where the gearbox ratio issue was offset with all the other things that MIGHT be done sometime in the future (as so little is really available at this time) then the B/SP folks would go "postal", and I don't think that the SCCA wants that to happen. I am going to catch crap on this one, but I am all scarred up now!!!!

Oh well. Time will tell. I await Koni's and then maybe some OZ's and 295 A6's or 275 Z214 C71's.

I'm basing it on my and my co-driver's experience in the car, along with the way the car looks going through a slalom - it just looks sloppy.

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!!
