What is a "touring car?"

And even then, I still don't see the STL Miata dominance that others do. I've driven Tyler's car at Roebling and seen his dyno sheet. Good S cars will beat his car (no knock on it, it's well done). I've talked at length to Mike at ISC about 1.6 and 1.8 Miatas and he thinks (a) they will be ridiculousy expensive to make power in STL and still not competitive.

Jeff, to be fair, I need to be clear on 1 thing. The car you drove at the time had a 99SM engine sans restrictor with a few bolt on parts. It made weak ITS power at best, the aero bits slower it down to less than ITS speeds. The current version of the car has about 40hp more and is significantly faster, however, the current weight of the car is way too high to be competitive and it is much less fun to drive. Thus the reason I run it in STU on the few occasions it comes out of the garage.
