STL Weight classification exercise

[JeffYoung]

1600 cc, wishbones up front, struts and trailing arms rear, FWD.

2160 x .95 = 2052 right?

Looks right to me.

Except...where did the -5% come from...?

GA, suspecting Mr Young of playing word games, but curious enough to play along...

Assuming a DOHC, I would get:

2160.

No weight reduction because it's not a strut front and no addition because it's not RWD.

What am I missing?

i was just looking at the rules again and realized i had screwed up in my comment.

when looking at the GCR on line, i keep forgetting to look if i am in the STU or STL specific sections because the top of the page says Super Touring and sometimes i am in the wrong section.

i had seen this but it was part of the STU specific ruleset:

Front wheel drive cars may reduce their minimum weight by 5%. Front wheel drive cars with a strut type front suspension may reduce their minimum weight by an additional 2.5%.

but in the STL section it says this:

Rear wheel drive cars in STL must add 2.5 percent of their standard STL weight.
4. Front wheel drive cars with a strut type front suspension may reduce their minimum weight by 2.5 percent.

Yep, no word games, same error as Tom. I read the STU rule and thought it applied to STL.
