Yes, I have run a minority vehicle and do understand the impact. I would
have no issue with the Boxster S being reclassified; minority vehicle or not,
if it was justified, but to date I haven't seen any data that suggests it
should be moved out of SS. Just because it is not winning against the Z06 is
not enough justification in itself. If it were, we'd have to reclassify 90%
of the Stock class listings on a continuous basis because every vehicle
listed can't be given a class to win. As I originally stated, IMO it is a
*slight* underdog. There's no doubt in my mind that it would dominate AS;
that's based on having actually autocrossed one. I just don't see the
justification to move it, especially in light of the stronger S engine due
out soon. There's certainly no justification to move the Boxster S to AS
without sending the Mazda RX7TT and the baseline C5 Vette to AS too.
You have to draw the line somewhere, but at the very least it must be done in
a consistent and fair manner. If the Viper or some other vehicle starts
beating the Z06's, will we move them to AS next? Where does the cycle of
that logic end?
