while doing more research...I found:
-That the C4 Vettes can invert their front control arm bushings to give another 2.3 degree's of camber...along with 1 deg of Caster..... -Prepped BMW's have problems with engine mounts...and 'suggest' using after market items. -that a Prepped Mazdaspeed Miata is BSP legal... and that Flyin' miata is getting about 240HP down on the stock turbo...Transmissions however; become subject to ridicule after about 225 hp...And they are getting 275's on a fully Prepped cars...with minimal fender mods...but Fender liners are pretty much history with ANY kind of suspension movement..

They can not "invert" their bushings. You can buy offset lower control arm bushings that will let you get -2.5 to -3 when added to the factory adjustment. Not sure where you are getting your C4 info but a lot of it is off.

Also none of the current CSP Miata's, same body, can fit any of the current 275's with legal flares so not going to happen on a MS. Many years ago before the flare rule limited inner fender work Guy Ankeny had 265's on a Miata, but the fender mods he had would not be legal in SP today. The MazdaSpeed is in the same class, but I would not call it competition. |

So you read it on the net so it must be true and legal right.... Those are not bushings they are aluminum spacers on the upper control arms. Also read appendix F of the SOLO rules and you will find where that exact item is listed as one that can not be modified or removed. That mod puts you in SM2.
There is a lot of bad info and worthless parts out there. Some dubm @ss out there is selling caster camber plates for the RX8. Ummm yeah the RX8 has upper and lower A arms, you can move the top of the shock a foot and it will not change your camber. You guys are as bad at the Vette guys that think with a dial you have 600hp with a stock turbo in BSP. |

Bill - I think your 'Vette power numbers are accurate for the ZR-1, but not a competitive car.
Tak and Lieber did their homework with Andy's Evos. I spoke to John at length when the SPAC was considering another rally car move, and he disclosed some things to me in confidentiality that I won't repeat here. Suffice it to say that the car was very well (and legally) prepared. John is an engineer for a major Detroit automaker. He has access to equipment that most of us will never see, and he knows how to use it. In addition he drove the wheels off the car last year. I'm not concerned about that car being illegal as much as I'm concerned about being on the top of my game when I run into Mr. Berry in Topeka. |

There were a lot of additional letters after Nationals. I used results to show how close the competition truly was (i.e. Vette times on Day 2, single drivers in heat 1 competition, etc.). Basically the best prepared and best driven car won. It hasn't gone any further.

Hmm... is the Solstice GXP/Sky Redline in BSP? If so... 260hp/260tq stock, quick spool, ability to fit BIG tires (285s/295s on the CStock ones, I'm thinking they could go with the slightly taller 315 and make better use of their gearing) light weight, not all THAT wide... Wonder how much power they can make in SP trim? On paper, that could be scary.

That would be the case, however, I heard their stock turbo is pretty much maxed out in stock trim. I think someone on SCCA Forums was saying a GXP/Redline in SP trim would probably make somewhere between 300-350hp at the crank depending on $$$ invested which would put it in the same power range as a BSP C4 Corvette. |

Since higher numbers run later at National events ... do the fast car owners typically run the 100 numbers so that their tire warmers run first?
At a little practice session a couple of weeks ago, Tom B. was a good 2 seconds faster then Max Hayter and his STU ProSolo winning STI. (I didn't see the final times at the end of the day.) Max was on brand new Yoks, Tom was on the very worn out Kuhmos that the ex-Tak car had arrived on ... on a short course, ie. Tom was in the 28's. It was very cool. The highest temps we saw trying to heat cycle new 275 710's on an ESP Forester was about 140+. Max was a second faster then Richard Jung if I recall correctly. Max was topping out in third at the finish ... the BSP car looked like a rocket in comparison. It will be interesting to see how local PAX Champ Tom Berry does this weekend in his first local race with it ... that will also feature in Pax people like Ken Motonishi, Rita Wilsey, Jason Isley, Jason Uyeda, perhaps Jason Rhodes in his new SM, ex STS Championship winning car, Ryan Buetzer, Jeff Barco, Steve O'Blenes and Scott McHugh, among other top drivers in out area. This is what it takes to build National winning cars: http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showthread.php?t=163184 Not saying he will, but the research and effort that Jason puts into building his cars is awesome!
