What this means to us is that in most regions we will have less serious competition. There is a guy with a 99 Camaro RS V-6 who is very good and several guys in the Central Division with older Celicas that can clean our clocks. Then the old 86-87 Civic Si is very fast, believe me. The Neon ACR will probably be our most plentiful threat but since it has reliability problems we may start seeing fewer of them.
In other classes the older Corvettes (84-96)move down to A Stock as does the Boxster S. Officer Cartman, your normal Boxster moves to B Stock to play with the 63-82 Vettes, M3 (E36), Audi TT (225hp), SLK, and early Mazda RX-7 and MR-2 turbos. C Stock will be the old B Stock with Miata 1.8 and MR-2 Spyders dominating the Z3 4 cylinders. E Stock gets the Miata 1.6, and all non-turbo RX-7s and MR-2. The Porsche 924 turbo, 924S, and 8-valve 944 may be competitive as well. F Stock remains about the same with the pony cars.
So those who have waited and did not modify there SE/SVT for STS may do pretty well next year in G Stock!
