OK. I'll jump in here to mention that the only Volkswagen listed is the 
Turbo New Beetle 1.8litre, and they have dropped it into most of what is now 
E and H Stock.

It just so happens that I am renting a Turbo Beetle automatic while my GTI 
is getting fixed and from the performance that this thing has shown me, I 
don't see this car as properly being in E or H Stock.  How about G Stock 
with the rest of the turbos?

I floored this thing as I came down the ramp to merge onto I-79 and I was 
over 80 MPH in a heartbeat. I actually had to brake to stay out of the car 
ahead of me. This puppy is fast.  I also feel a very good chassis working 
under the car. The brakes are very good as well.  You can't see out of it, 
but that's a different story.

The published list doesn't mention the VR-6 cars either. Are they lumped in 
with the turbo and the naturally aspirated VW's, or are they somewhere else?

It looks like this proposal needs a lot of fine tuning.
