If given a choice between an s197 and a 4th gen, I'd take the s197 all day.
Let's face it the Fox/F-body platforms are absolute shit.
Crappy chassis, crappy suspensions, neither chassis come with good brakes, and you really can't run a stock 5.0/t5 anymore, etc.
S197s are good to go out of the box and prepping them for W2W are more of a "bolt on" affair rather than the "cut here and weld this here" we deal with our chassis.
Not complaining but Sook's point to the newer chassis just being considerably easier to start with is totally valid.
Our cars are just a lot cheaper to start with than s197s but that gap is closing over time.
This is not a "s197 and 5th gens belong in CMC" discussion, just a comparison between how much easier the newer stuff is to start with.
I don't want the new cars running in CMC with us, we've all already spent enough time/money developing our cars for this class.

There are more 99-04 mustangs than 90-05 miatas, and they are pretty cheap, don't know the production numbers on GT vs V6 though.
