Well, there are a lot's of cars around and I guess we can make a lot's of
different examples. I will make just one. Type R and Turbo DSM. 195 HP from
1.8 litter engine compare to 210 HP from 2.0 litter. I would bet that those
Type R engines are lighter then DSM engines. And Type R makes over 108
HP/liter compare to 105 HP/liter that DSM makes. If we put V8 engine there
than those numbers go down to around 50 HP/liter. Very inefficient if you
look at those numbers. Compare to Type R, 5.0 V8 should make around 1000 HP
from the motor. Decrease 20% due to looses in the rotation weight and they
should be somewhere around 700 - 800HP easy. Who would then complain about
weight?

I guess, I did not succeed in my previous post about trying to imagine that
we swap the places for a second. If you would have so many special rules
made just for non-turbo cars, you would not say this. Take it just for
example that you non-turbo guys have to run stock exhaust while turbo cars
are excluded due to fact that we have a turbo lag. I can not go below 3k
with my car. If I have to go there than I have to down shift. Than, there
is up shift after that too. When was a last time that you had to do such a
thing as down shifting?

But, there isn't. I have to run with the cars that have 3 times larger
engines that I have. And this is not about which car is better for autoX or
not. By changing to rules and allowing more turbo mods, and at the same
time slowing non-turbo cars down, answer on your question will be
completely different.

Regardless of what you do the ESP DSM in P2, I don't think that we have
much of the chance there (if it is raining, maybe, or even better if we
have some snow).
