Why not break it down to engine size, and split the 2.4's by model? it comes to 4 classes, but...I've the xA can't touch an xD, and I don't think an xB2.4 could keep up with a tC.

but at the distance of the track it has more to do with the driver as I saw some really interesting wins the last time

I for one will not race. Too lazy to strip my car but for show, yes I would love an xA/xD/xB/Tc thing.

I'm not saying for the races (like VIP, where xA vs xA, xB vs xB, tC vs tC) but for the trophies. I agree that there will be xA's beating tC's, but to put xA's against Turbo tC's it's just not fair. There are prolly few enough xD's to put them with the 1.5's, but with the other cars being almost a liter bigger...the 1.5's can't compete with the modded ones. At that distance, xA's can beat stock tC's and xB's (Rumion), but add an intake and exhaust to the tC and they win.

If there are classes, please let it be 1.5, 1.8 and 2.4

I am certain that the xD will take out the 1.5s and 2.4s no problem...unless
you're running with forced induction against it.

I now want a 1.8 in my xA, can you tell?

ahem....if i may interject here

i am not sure if the tc's or xb2's i was running against had an intake,
i doubt it on the xb2...but i did beat every one of them...with the exception
of the time that i broke my shifter. also....i don't know what the solara was
running but i know i beat that car too. in that short distance we can beat a
lot simply because of our weight. but....the 1.8L in the xD is hard to keep up
with i know this. let's just say that i was going a little too fast against an xD
with 2 people in it that were a lot heavier than myself....no offense to both of
you you know who you are.

Yeah I was beating everyone* too, including the 'Rolla S, tC's and an xB2, but I didn't go against anyone that was turbo'd, and there are a lot of tC's with that advantage. To sum up, I agree with your Classes.

*Except you and that gutted xB that was killing everyone. (I don't count my first race, cause the Celica was running a
low
15psi boost through his fully built motor. Yeah, he said LOW 15 pounds.

To get back on topic, Enzo you will be interested to see my new diy paint project, since you gave me the piece, that I hope to have done by then.
