I think the spec boxsters will do well at the Glen. I've got to think they'll show setup improvement after every race and the platform will get stronger and stronger as the testing data comes in. The D and E cars setup haven't really evolved in years other than a sway bar adjustment here and there (except Fred's recent changes). A lot of the improvement we're seeing is in engine rebuilds. The LRP raced is very good example of that. I think we'll see 2:15's and maybe even a .14 out of the top boxsters at the Glen. I've also got to think the aero is much better on the boxster which will be a big help at the Glen as well.
I think spec boxster will get very interesting once the engine rebuilds or replacement starts to happen and you see performance gaps and the field will have to decided if they want to pay to be competitive. It might become an engine class just like D and E. You can't be competitive in D or E with an original motor - or a stock motor

I remember when that happened in the old F Troop. I rebuilt my 72,000 mile Carrera motor over one winter expecting to have a small advantage the next season, only to find out at the first race that Scotto, Westerduin & a few more had done the very same thing. I guess that no one cheated, because we were all still dead-even down the straights.
