The same C5 only took 5th at the Pro. Curt drove well... but in no way is
there any past races that would show that the C4 & C5's are mis-classed. If
anything the only car that could be deemed 'mis-classed' is the RX-7! Wherever
the C4 goes... the C5 belongs also! 2000 showed 1 Porsche, 8 RX-7's, 7 C4's,
and 4 C5's in the Top 20? 1999 Showed 13 RX-7's, 6 C4's and 1 C5? I don't get
how the C4's & C5's warrant separating. Again... just my opionion... not the
Great SEB!

Regardless of the fact that the C5 in 1st place had the high dollar shocks
and all that good stuff, they had that car only about 3 weeks before natls.
I have to think that the car and driver will become faster once they have
been together for a year.
I can tell you my car is as close to 100% as it is going to get with
me.

The C5 will only get faster - the C4 is probably pretty
close to maximally tweaked in Stock. I think the
resurrection of BSP shows there is a very large
"market" of C4s that'll come out if they have perceived
equality. I would agree there is some inconsistency
with the way different generations of Vette are treated
vs. the ponycars, but the Vettes are being treated just
like the Miatas, Civics, and various other marques that
are split between classes.

> Why are we making a class for C4's only? If we are
going to remove a car that has more TQ, and better
Gearing from it's current class... just to make room
for the new and improved, why is this not done for FS?
Why are 3rd & 4th Gen Camaro's still together? It is
the same situation. Let alone the 3rd gen F-Body's
have 305 5spds! and 350 w/Auto's! The 4th Gen's have
100 more HP... same TQ, and 6spds? For the first time
in 4 years the C5 places ahead of the c4's. Definitely
not enough of a reason to separate the Vettes????
