What Autocross class?
Just bought a heavily mod'd out 2006 Cayman S. Local P-club is confused on what class to put me in. Me, I'm definitely a novice, only done 2 autox's.
The car:
2006 Cayman S with Tiptronic
Flat 6 Innovations Stage II Engine Rebuild
Cayman R Suspension
Girodisc Slotted Brake rotors
Carnewal Modified Stock Exhaust
Softronic intake plenum and DME flash
Power Steering cooler
BBI Harness/Rollbar
Recaro racing seats
5 point harness
19" Champion forged track wheels with Federal 595R5-Pros
FVD Brombacher Motorsports Oil Pan w/ X51 Baffles

When I recently bought my first P car ( 718 GTS), I realized that many if not all PCA have their own local rule point based system which don't necessarily match any rules used at Natl events, none of which SCCA rules. My advice would be to find local rules points structure yourself, be honest as to changes and self class.

I would start with the PCR: https://mediaassets.pca.org/pages/mi...rules_2023.pdf
Figure out where you would be and why and then discuss any local differences with the local region. If you know your PCR class they can probably translate that to a local class without too much trouble. Like Earlydays said you are probably in Production (P) class. I think, w/r/t the PCR, you would be P04 (page 20).

totally agree with Z3papa!
Here's an easy answer: If your local region has a NOVICE class, enter that! Some clubs will just do Novices and not worry about competition, gives you a year to gain experience.
Otherwise, like edfisherjr says, give your best guess, tell the club up front your thinking, enter, and drive!

Doesn't look like you've pulled much weight out of the car, if any. It's going to be an XA car. At most SCCA events XB is actually going to be the softer class, but you get hammered on index. SSM also sounds like a place you could go. Obviously SSM or XP are the places you need to be looking if you're not planning on running a 200tw tire.

In XA engine components are unrestricted.
