Frank:
You can't run a short r/p. Can't run Carrera rotors either on an SC unless you want to go up a class.

I've ridden in Evan's car at SP and it definitely doesn't feel like it has a short r/p. If it did there is no way he could use 2nd around turn 1 because he would run out of revs earlier than he does with 275-35-15s on the rear.

Maybe just a short 5th gear then?

wheel/tire changes can be in effect CWP changes



Here's a comparison of most 915s w/ the same tires and rev limits

Funny, was looking for that chart last night on Pelican Bill! What 915 do the 84-86 Carrera's use, and is the Euro 915 any different?

I have no dog in this fight, but I personally think the PCA stock rules are BS. Allowing exhuasts, chips, and removal of most of the interior is not really stock.

There was a rule change/class up for debate a few years ago for "showroom stock" or something like that were only brake pads, fluid, tires and safety changes were allowed (IIRC) and you could move back a class but haven't heard anything since.

Btw, I like the direction PCA racing has been headed in the last few years.

Also I plan on heading back to G stock next year (going back to small brakes etc) which will be easy since I never changed my R&P.

I do think the big loser in this was OBD2 993s in G from what I can see.

US '84-86 3.2 Carrera use 915/68, 70, 73 these are all geared the same
RoW '84-86 3.2 Carrera use 915/67, 69, 72 these are all geared the same
RoW & US for these years are geared differently in 2, 4 & 5

Don't let the name of the class mislead you, Matt.

PCA doesn't claim that "Stock" class is "really stock." It's just a lot less modified than GT. Just how modified that is is up to PCA racers.

I suppose PCA could start a "Showroom Stock" class, but nobody would do it. Even the typical DE car would be ineligible for Showroom Stock.

They should be GT Lite! I guess I don't agree with the philosophy of allowing $10k shocks, chips, and exhuast, but requiring original brake calipers and rotors. Doesn't make sense to me.
