...and those LS1s lose 1 1/2 car lengths to the AWD cars coming out of every
slow turn (about .3 - .4 sec. at the finish line). Take a snapshot of any
Pro Solo start if you don't believe it.

Maybe. It certainly does matter how you use it. That's why I object this
simplistic horsepower argument from the DSM contingent - the cars are
different enough that it isn't useful to compare HP numbers. I think the
turbo car drivers have legitimate beefs about the way they are affected by
the rules, but comparing HP numbers isn't a reasonable argument.

(I agree with what someone proposed months ago: Let the turbo cars develop
to the limit of the SP rules, and then reclassify if necessary. Note that a
restriction such as is proposed is not necessarily a bad idea - are there
equivalent swaps available for most other SP turbo cars?)
