(Partly off-topic)
The more compliant half of me says: in extreme cases where time and money are not an object, you are correct.
The more stubborn part of me says: Admit that a 9/10th GT-1 build is far expensive than 9/10th SSC build regardless of popularity and competition. Most of us in the IT will eventually build a 8 or 9/10ths car. Yes there are times when modifying to more restrictive rules is more expensive to do when compared to building to the more expansive rules, i.e. stock flywheel cut down to min thickness (viewed by some as a legal gain in IT ~ $350) vs buying a new flywheel (STx ~ $250). Yet in this case, I can argue that the suggestive rules which will involve TB/IM & control arm purchases, installation and testing (dyno time) costs will be more expensive than the keeping and legally modding these parts within the current STL.... even in the 10/10th world.
