Again, with ability to change pistons, match porting, crank lightening, cams etc, does anybody have data to say that a honda type R motor or S2000 motor is out of line in this class's prep rules? If SCCA's intent is to make STL actually be STM(iata), why didn't they just do it.
I dont think that STL is to be STM(iata), why would it be. They already have a national class to run in SM. The idea I believe is to give the IT cars a place to run in National events that they would have the opportunity to be competitive, specifically A and B cars. Before the creation of STL is any ITA car such as a miata, crx si, etc... all of the best going to have any chance up against a true STU car. The answer is no. I would believe that the reason for excluding the Type R and the S2000 is because, although legal by displacement, those cars are both ITR cars and would not be in the same comparison of speed as say an ITA crx si.
