I have no dog in either fight but its a good discussion so far.

100% true...and this is why it was the right decision years ago to NOT allow SM cars, in SM prep to be automatically legal for their respective IT class. Why? The ITAC has no control over the SMAC and what future allowances they will implement in the name of parity or whatever.

At the end of the day, a full-tilt-boogie 1.6 SM will have 5-10 things done to it that are not legal for IT...but at the current time, those things do not eclipse the IT performance envelope. I would think that this would hit the ITAC's desk well before it was a bother to the STAC.
