Default 370Z Solo 2 Classes Question

I've been reading the SCCA Solo 2 rule book and the forums trying to figure out the upgrade path for my stock 370Z. Will the car fit into the Street Touring STU class?

I have seen people mention on the forums that the Street Touring classes have engine displacement size restrictions but I cannot find anything about that in the rule book.

The only requirements that I see for STU is a 285mm Tire and unlimited wheel widths. But it is not on the STU list in the Classes section.

I see the 350Z roadster gets into the STR class.

Just seems like a huge gap between C Stock and A Street Prepared.

No STU because it doesn't have back seats....

CS or ASP. It isn't legal for an ST categories.

I hate to be that guy but not even searching, just looking down the page a bit, you would have found this:

SCCA AutoX - STU Class?

you will need to send a letter to the Street Touring Advisory Council to get an explicit classing. SEB Letter Submission Form.

I would expect the 370 to be in STR where the 350 is.

with a 255 tire? No thanks. I've written to try and get it in STU though. It doesn't have a chance there but at least it has a class.

No way the 370 goes to STR. Too much power...

I ran my car in BSP trim on 255 star specs. It could be somewhat fast, but it is not nationally competitive.
