Contours aren't that competitive anyway; look at the national champs in GS and STS -- they're all in newest gen Celics GT's and 88-91 Civic Si's respectively. You'll never beat one of those that has a decent driver.
And THAT is exactly my problem with the SCCA. ONE car is THE car for a class.
That and "Stock" isn't stock. All the other GS-type mods are useable on the street--race tires are not, anyone wanting to be anywhere near competitive in a presumably "STOCK" class has to buy special tires and dedicated wheels. I despise race tires being permitted in stock. You add up all the other mods allowed in GS and they're still not enough to overcome specialty tires. THAT IS WRONG! So I'll race in GS with a Borla, B&M, and street tires till the cows come home and not feel one ounce of shame thank you very much.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.
