Once again, Mr. Sipe manages to fabricate a problem where it has not
been shown that one exists. As has become very clear from earlier
discussion on this subject, the Supra is badly misclassed. So reclass it
already. But leave the rules alone!

For which there is no broad-based foundation in competitive results.

Well, it's not yet etched in stone. And you can bet your ass my letter's
going in the mail tomorrow.

No it's not. It's one pass at a "solution" to an imaginary "problem." I
asked the question in an earlier post: which SP class has been dominated
by a turbo car just because it had the turbo? If the only answer you can
come up with is an SS car that runs in an SP class with a softer PAX
than it had in Stock, then I claim you haven't even remotely made a
case.
Reclass the Supra, the same way you'd reclass an NA car that was a clear
ringer. But stop screwing with SP. It works, for gosh sakes, and the
real risk is that it may NOT work after all the tampering is done.
