bifs66 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The Corvettes were given an 0.4mm wider air restrictor, a richer fuel mixture, 2 liters more fuel, and can shed 22 pounds. The Ford GTs adjustments were to add 33 pounds, and turn down the turbo boost (2000 - 7200 rpm). Some of the other competitors had changes also. Apparently, rules can make or break winners. If only there was a series where "production spec" GT cars could race against each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It's all about parity because that makes for more interesting racing. The days of "run what you brung" are long gone. Having one car or mfr dominate isn't good for ratings or for bringing in other competitors. It would be nice to see a class where it is more open within very broad parameters.

I'm not advocating a "run what you brung" series; but a "run what you build/sell to the public". I'm aware of the reasoning behind the current series rules.

akirby Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Run what you sell to the public is the same problem. Look up the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
