The more I read and see about the "spec" cars, the more interested I become.

Will there be a class for 2.7 liter cars soon? (I thought it was limited to 2.5l cars)

I change the oil in the car after every track weekend. That is my routine. So far we have not had anything break on the car since the car made it's debut on track and AX's last October.

As far as the dash speakers, the dash was taken completely out of the car and the metal support structure removed. At the same time the speakers were taken out of the car. I put the speakers grills back on to give it a finished look and not have to fab anything up. The grills are lightweight plastic. I wanted the car to look decent inside...

You are correct, the class is limited to 2.5L cars at this time. As the class grows you will see the 2.7L cars added with some sort of trophy weight. The 2.5L cars have a wonderfully low dollar re-sale at the moment, perfect for budget racers. The 2.7's will follow suit over the years and more people will get into the class.

It's just a matter of time. Very similar to Spec Miata with the 1.6L and 1.8L motors.

Thanks,

Bill P.
