Well there are many more non-turbo's out there.

Turbo cars also make more power from engines that weight less, and are not
hurt on big courses (remember I have lots of turbo seat time).

You guys are not in any differnet position than anyone else in this club.
Turbo's are not hamstrung by SCCA. Did it ever occur to anyone that just
by nature a turbo isn't the best thing for autox? You guys choose your
cars. I had to buy the Camaro when the car I owned wasn't competitive.
Personally I think it would be nice if there was a class for everything.
But, pretend you didn't own a Turbo. Aebersold's Supra, Maruinus' RX7 are
really the only two turbo cars that have been prepped to the extent they
had to be, and a look how they run. Dennis' car seems pretty quick from
what I saw in Ft. Myers, and it has yet to be really dug into I bet.
Remember how bad the DSM cars got f*cked when they were classed in GS? I
do. What happened?
