As for weight, they were already allowed 2600lbs with full CF body.

They will need to drop even more weight and add more power to be competitive with Factor X, BC-S2K, M-1 350Z, and all the fast awd unl guys.

JC, I will respectfully disagree with you on your last statement. 400whp and 2600lbs with amazing suspension setup, the best brakes money can buy and a pro driver would cream just about any other car out there. Think about it, how hard is 700hp to put to the ground? Those cars are also much heavier (the BC-2sk is lighter, but is also making similar power), have "Street brakes" and setups that are not anywhere near Rolex/Speed WC standards.


not that this video is a great illiustration of power vs setup.. but its not bad
