Granted, But...

1.) Peters is an amazing driver by all accounts...alienesc one might say.
2.) He switched to STU because he recognized the 350z as an underdog in STR due to tire limitations...now he is owning STU...much to the annoyance of a certain muti-time STU national champ from my region.

IMHO If you put a phenomenal (alien) driver in any remotely competitive car for a class, the driver will quickly rise to the top of the standings. Unfortunately it's these alien drivers that get cars classed in such a way that only an alien driver could ever win with them.

Um, no. He switched to STU because the 350z was reclassified in the class. You can't just go from STR to STU because you want more tire. The evo guys need to stop whining...they seem to struggle with the difference b/w being out-"car'd" and being outdriven.

My mistake, your right. However, you cant deny that, in STU, where really the major difference is more tire allowance is going to hurt the 350z. Really my point is...

"Driver goes from winning a class where car has less competitive advantage to wining in class where car has more competitive advantage indicates that car was not the factor driving success...the driver was."
