QUOTE(stownsen914 @ Feb 14 2020, 09:53 AM)  Interesting development. Any head porting allowed? Negative. 1" port matching to intake only. I encourage reading the GCR for details, but pretty much stock stuff except for 1.2mm overbore, stock valve sizes, rockers free (stock ratios), pistons/rings unrestricted, any ferrous rods of same pin distance, any flywheel of stock diameter, and other details. Air cooled engine shrouding and fans are unrestricted. Any stock transaxle gears with a weight adder. If you're feeling flush, dog gearboxes allowed (no sequential) with a larger adder. Final drive free. Suspension components mostly free to be replaced, but cannot move the pickup points. Stock brake calipers. Rotors of stock size but can be converted to two-piece. Some alternate body panels allowed. Fenders can be flared but note there are wheel and tire size limts, plus track must be 103% of the car’s stock track plus 2.5 inches. Other regs regarding airdams, interior/exterior (can cut windshield and remove rear windows, for example). See the GCR for details. It's not a cheap class, even at "Limited Prep." |

So I had considered running in SCCA with Papa Smurf. GT2!!!
On small tracks I’m good. Won the entire Big Bore group once at CMP. But at VIR I would have been smoked so bad...my top speed is only 145. GT2 cars were going 175+. I think the GT2 winner was 13 sec PER LAP faster than my best lap time there. I know a couple of the GT2 guys. They have 600+ hp, I have 350. Seems fair right? Lol |

Hey Bob. Do you mean the GT1 cars have 600+ hp? GT2 has usually been 3.4 or 3.6L aircooled Porsches, and more recently Cup cars.

GT2 has a lot of Nascar cars in it...at least what I’ve run against... maybe ARCA not Nascar but still. Nascar style. And yeah, Porsche Cup Cars.. |

GT2 has been absorbing a lot of cars. The old Super Touring Over (nee World Challenge GT) cars for example, as well as the Trans Am TA2 cars...it is quickly turning into the premier production-bodied big-money classes in SCCA.
