Here we go again with the 'I' classing. So by that logic, all pre 86 Fieros
with a V6 should be in one class due to the 4spd and the others in a
different class because of the 5spd?

The 1.6 Miata numbers cream a BUNCH of car specs. Run your Fiero
numbers against a MKI MR2....2400lb, 112HP, even less torque. Still in
CS.

Sorry, but I think the Fiero, like most cars that have been extinct for over
a
decade (my beloved MKI MR2 included), is no longer a candidate for a top
driver's weapon of choice. That's the nature of the game.
>Can you say that about the MR2?
I sure can! When was the last time you saw an 86 MR2 in the trophies at
Nationals?
> Would that not indicate some sort of classing problem relative to this
marque?
No....it indicates that car is getting old, is sporty, and is
affordable...which is
what CS is supposed to be all about.
As for moving to CSP, I'll argue all day with you that the car has no place
there.
But then I'll argue all day that the MR2 doesn't either.
