Our process isn't precise enough to take into account drum brakes, fender clearance, or aero.

If you feel that the SN95 has an advantage, we'd suggest that that's what you should build!
Disclaimer....I'm not sure I would consider building a V8 ITR car but I asked the question because I am curious about how weight was determined. Not sure I appreciate you cheeky answer...but it is late and my sense of humor is already in bed.

I frankly find it amazing that 10HP is worth that much and that the magical process doesn't factor BRAKES. Also think it is interesting that no one apparently bothered to look at the data that has been gleaned through years of racing these same cars in AS. After all the AS rules allow for both the SN95 and the FOX to be built with the same parts and yet the FOX is still lighter....interesting.
