370Z street touring class ?

I won't argue that a 370 can't win be competitive in ASP. It's the STR vs STU classing that is most silly.

It's one in the same, the 350 is winning...why would you bring in a 370z, which would completely kill competitive balance in STU. The evo guys are alredy bitching to no end. I still think the C5 is the car to have in STU, but Brian Peters is in the class (in a 350z)....so that's that.

I fail to see how it would ruin the "competitive balance" of the class. The 350z is only winning because Brian is driving it. You put him in an Evo and he'll win in an evo.

The Boost Buggies shouldn't be scared of a 350/370z. They should be scared of the C5 Vette. That's the car that will destroy the class.

Totally agree, seems silly to me... If they're not going to have them in the same class, they should at least have the 350 in STR and the 370 in STU. I'm guessing all the MX-5 and S2K guys threw a fit when Brian won at nationals last year in STR.

Bingo. Strangely enough, his winning STR last year screwed the 370z the most. S

Autocross classes are for cars, not drivers, plain and simple. Start deifying some guy's name and I'm out. Half these guys as I've learned are unapproachable a$$bags anyways.

100% agree with this classes being for cars, not drivers. Classing should NOT be determined simply because a phenomenal driver can post ridiculous times in a car.

As far as the unapproachable a$$bags part, can't say I've ever seen this problem. And with the level of drivers that come to my region for some events, I'm pretty sure I would have seen it.

You realize this makes no sense? If him winning the STR Championship in a 350z mattered at all to the SEB... Do you think the 370z would still be classed in STR? After all, all of your other posts suggest that the 370z platform is significantly superior to the 350z.

I do think that the SEB believes that the 370z is a superior platform... But not by a lot.

The grape vine told me that the reason for re-classing the 350z and the C5 was the hope that they could strengthen STU by giving the class cheaper competitive platforms.

The 370z is still expensive... And if superior to the 350z... No one will build a 350z for the class.
