What about Vipers?  They should be up there.

Shouldn't the S2000 be classed here since it isn't
anywhere else? Also, I know they are waiting to class
it, but the Boxster S should go here too.

The 2nd generation MR2 will dominate like always. 
Miatas are close but not close enough.

4th gen non-VTEC Preludes are in HS.

That's 4th gen civics. And the only 4-cyl MX-6 here
are the 1st gen, never seen one autocross but can't
imagine them being too fast.  I think the top cars in
this class are the 4th and 5th gen Civic Si and the
BMW 318, possibly the 4th gen Prelude S or a RWD
Corolla GTS.
