IMO, you have to compare apples to apples....either you use the actual
winning times/differences from BOTH classes, or you factor in the cones on
the DP winning times (on the first two runs), and the probable conservative
third run into your what if scenario...either way has it's pluses and
minuses but you should use the same method for both.

Real racing wheels are $225 each for 15# 16x10's....looks like a 15x7 is
$184 for 12#...If us "Drunken CP Idiots" (tm 2002 Jeff Winchell) are not
tearing them up, they would appear to be strong enough for the average
Miatae :) And I don't know how much lighter you'll find either...
I can't argue with the $2500 fuel injection cost....as a matter of fact, If
the base system is $2300, I doubt the dyno time would be less than $200....
Like I said, no flame intended.....
