the 370 isn't legal for STX...

I expect shocks to help tremendously if they low speed damping can be set right to help the car in transitions. It has a tendancy to roll gently and then the damping completely goes away and the car flops over on the suspension. The shocking thing (pun not intended) is that the sudden weight shift never seems to overload the tires, it's the weirdest handling car I've ever autox'd

Where does a modified 370Z fall then? My last event I ran in STR, but they weren't sure it was kosher. I have HFC, CBE, and F/R sways. This would be very helpful to know for the rest of the season.

Unless you're local region has some special classes the 370 goes straight from CS to BSP to SM. Unfortunately at this point there is no national street-tire class for the 370 or other high power 2-seater cars. I do think the 370 would be a blast in full BSP trim though and probably very competitive. 335's square, 310 whp, 3000 lbs.....

its alot of fun. I only have about 100 lbs of weight reduction but use a square 10.5" wheel setup. It's like night and day compared to when i would auto cross stock.

Oops. I don't do SCCA so I was just guessing by what little I knew of the classing.
