If I read it correctly the '03-'04 Cobra guys got there wish and were moved to FS, looks like the Mach 1s and Bullits have just takin the back seat. :coolman:

I guess will see whether IRS, 200lbs and 9" wheels/w 295? with a lot of power will make a difference.

There's a few things about the '03-04 Cobra that will hurt it on slower and or tighter courses. Lower compression and tranny gearing will make it slower than the Mach 1. The Mach is quicker from the start through most of second gear. The brakes are the same between cars. The extra weight of the Cobra will not gain any points here either. On a medium to large course design, I think it's a drivers race, If both cars are fully prepped. But the larger the course, greater top speeds, the more the Cobra can be favored.

The rules in SP were changed to allow the turbocharged cars to raise boost *legally* for 06. I think this is a bit biased against supercharged cars because we still aren't allowed to swap pullies without going to SM2. So in a nutshell: Turbo cars can have boost controllers to increase boost, but supercharged cars cannot change pullies. Boost is Boost, right? :shrug:
Does anyone have an idea why this is?

Write the SEB start discontent on the SCCA forums, you can't do anything about it here.

The why is probably because they didn't think about it.

They are going to have a rule change to allow cam timing changes because of all the VCT cars coming out.
