Do you guys REALLY think that a straight-up wt/hp ratio will work?

It works for many NASA classes, because the cars and technology in their very "spec-like" classes are, well... spec. The cars have similiar characteristics...

Do you think that a 240Z and an 2nd Gen RX-7 should share wt/hp ratios? Would they be competitive with each other?

wt/hp is a great place to start the process, but you have to make adjustments for suspensions, brakes, factory transmission ratios, etc... These would be the "adders" that some have referred to.

This is how all of the new cars and reclassifications have been handled for the past year, so if you guys are suggesting the wt/hp be employed in the process, well, it already is being employed as part of the process.

wt/pwr alone, however, simply would not get the job done...
