I'm talking about Miatas versus Corvettes (remember the Miata->AP theme of
this thread?) In SP, where wheels/tires are unlimited, and the weight
differential is already there between Corvettes and Miatas, the Corvettes
run in faster classes. If the Prepared Miata belongs in AP, then by the
same logic the SP Miata belongs in ASP.

And it has *nothing* to do with the engine displacement difference? Its all
about three inches of wheel difference? Come on, Rick!
