I figured it was time to start an STX thread because the MSP can be very competitive in STX, and will prove it at Nationals next year!
The final product!
For a look at the rules, visit the SCCA website.
The disadvantages:
Weight. The MSP weighs a lot, but if you look at the other top cars in the class they all weigh 2500-3300lbs.
Power. Obviously the MSP doesn't take to mods very well. Most of the aforementioned cars are runnung 200-260whp.
Limited by rules of course, no boost alteration other than incidental (boost creep), no stand alones, and no FMICs.
So my car #1668 will no become a study in pushing the limits of the rules and seeing where it gets us.
