A fresh look...

MZR LF is the 2.0L, biggest thing you can drop in to STL. in a protege (strut front) or 3 (strut front I think) it's a 2633# car, in a 6 it's 2700# (SLA front).

yeah, brakes are possibly an issue for the heavy cars, relatively speaking, but frankly maxed brakes on a light car with DOT tires of a max 225 section means you probobly have more brake than you can use - so there's likely a middle ground.

Agreed, which makes you wonder why a brake limit at all. I read today that the OEM brakes on the FD are 292mm. Naturally.

That's no big deal, throw the rotors on a lathe and machine off 2mm from the OD, taper the outer edge of the pads to match. You will never miss that 2mm of rotor.

Did we decide if you can take a turbo off an engine to run in STL?

Are VW and Porsche considered like makes. Some Porsche cars come with VW engines in them and VW owns some % of Porsche.

VW in a Pcar is explicitly legal from a fastrack this or last year. VW in boxter = legal.

cmon... that's a whopping 1/4 sqin of swept area... worth at least a second per lap!
