Looks like E36's cleaned house in STX on Dunlop. Finale should be interesting.

I wasn't paying attention. What changed to make the E36 THE Car for STX? Shouldn't the WRX be given wider tires to level the playing field?

No. The WRX shouldn't be given wider tires, it's still ahead in power to weight ratio plus it's all wheel drive. The RX8 is probably the car to have.

I don't think the E36 is really the car to have, seems to me like more competent drivers are just running them this year plus they are cheap to get.

The WRX should get the wheel allowance so they can at least effectively use the 245 tires they are limited to. If they take back the exhaust allowances, then WRX should get the same tire as the rest of the class.

Or, give the WRX an allowance to swap the jello rear diff with a real diff...That would level things out nicely, maybe nicely enough that I would be tempted to bring my bugeye back out. ;)

The fast RX-8 was not there.

Darn you guys for bringing me back to reality...So if all three of us go in on it, we could make the WRX into a badass ESP car (sorry Jon, you have to run it in SM :lol: )

In SM he can school you, dumping the entire back seat, all the rear seatbelts, bolting a wing onto the car (and we all know how much *that* intimidates the wingless...), bolting on that nice, light blingy hood, dumping all that weight off the front, etc.

He'll crush ya!

That little weight savings won't make a difference, it's not like it's 10% of the entire car or anything...
