why not race an MS3 in GS, it can be quite competitive there. With so many cars getting moved down, the rein of the Mini Cooper S is over.

I guess I misread the October FasTrack, but on p 3 it says "MOTION: To accept the 2009 Solo Rules changes as submitted by the Solo Events Board.(Noble/Introne) PASSED, Unanimous"

Which if I read correctly included moving the Cobalt SS (Turbo and Supercharged), Mazdaspeed3, Audi TT FWD, SRT-4, Caliber SRT-4, Dodge Daytona, Honda Prelude, and many others from DS to GS. I can see several of those cars giving the Cooper S a run for its money in GS.

This was the same FasTrack the removed the RX-8 from the exclusion list in STX.

the del Sol VTEC might have a shot against the regular cooper in HS. . .

but I'll agree, the cobalt supercharged doesn't really have a shot against the mini. I think the turbo might, as well as the mazdaspeed3, but if they are still DS then they still aren't really competitive.

No way! There are at least 15 cars I'd pick for HS before I'd pick that one.

Agreed.

I've driven one. Torsional rigidity of wet spaghetti.

Hmm, didn't think of that, I was basing it on weight and hp only.
