Dick, nobody mentioned Prod, but it would be incorrect to think that weight (too heavy or too light) or on-track potential are not factors in classifying cars. The ITAC turned down a request this summer to classify a car because the process weight was considered too heavy for the class. Why should "too light to attain" be treated any differently? And the ITAC also turned down a car this summer because even though it met all objective criteria for the class, it was considered too powerful. So yes, on-track potential IS considered when classifying cars.

Whether you or I "believe" an aftermarket ECU helps any particular engine is immaterial. My point was that picking on the MR2 for that is inappropriate IMO. Hence, if the ITAC is concerned about the potential advantage of aftermarket ECUs, they should treat them like any other adder/subtracter in the "process".
