Car Classing is based on engine size:
- Class 1/1R is for engines under 2.3 liters, except Honda S2000 and Lotus
Elise/Exige.
- Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000.
- Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige.
- Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires.
- Class X/XR is an open class for any engine displacement and induction.

Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class.

If I can buy a new tire and find out why my front end is clunking around.

Speaking of, do ya'll think there'd be a noticeable difference with 3 50% tires and 1 new tire?

The race is for 2nd or 3rd. There's a Super Stalker entered and an Evo (cough... Should be in class two Jerrett...cough) Gonna be a good time though!

Bah! I have never heard of the Evo driver and the Super Stalker is not too much of a threat. You can beat both of them.

We never said that people could not move into a higher class than their own, but they cannot go into a lower class. Of course, if you come to our events, you have no class.

Is this a concrete or asphalt lot?

Sealed asphalt. Much better than the asphalt lots but not as good as concrete

As long as it stays dry for ya'll, should be good.

The $40 entry fee is MUCH more affordable! I'd like to try this in the V to see how the magnetic suspension handles and kick a lil Mustang butt in the process :D

Good luck with that in an auto, unless you have the option of locking the car is a certain gear.

Yes, it has a manual sport mode. Suspension is also adjustable. The CTS-V went around the Ring in less than 8 minutes. :happy107:

So the manual mode allows you to hold a single gear without any up or down shifts? If so, then it's definitely doable. Wonder how well it would do.

Yes. I can do it with the shifter or the paddle shifters. It would be tricky for sure due to all the instant on tap torque. The V missed it's calling as a drift machine cuz it will murder tires at will. haha.
