No offense to HoosierContour, but see what I mean about people stretching the rules with the car classifications?
I count at least 2, possibly 3 mods in that signature that would knock that car out of the STS class.
I think most of the time its not intentional to 'cheat', its just that people don't know the rules for the class they are running. The guy I ran with last weekend with the Cougar wasn't intentionally trying to cheat with a Y-pipe, he just thought it was allowed in STS.
But if most people are running more mods than they are technically allowed in STS, and I don't see that situation changing, why should I be one of the few 'honest' ones without a grey area mod like a y-pipe? I'll be at a disadvantage, and won't get any credit for being honest.
