Guys, first of all, apologies for having been quiet for so long...I've been travelling a lot for work, and as has been said, this is just a hobby :wink:
On the CMC site there are several good threads that were created when we first launched CMC2. In there, and many places since, we've stated that the goal is to have one CMC class. If we prove to ourselves that it cant be done, or that the cost of doing it is too much to bear, then we'll give up. I doubt either of those will be the case, but I'm a glass is half full kind of guy.
The reality is time marches on, and leaving CMC as CMC was would only ensure a slow and painful death like spec rx7 has enjoyed. What happened to them? They stoped evolving and as new drivers came in they came into other series with newer platforms.
We needed to have a place for the more modern hardware to run, and we just dont have the resources to test on the level that would be needed to bring them in with one fell swoop...hence the plan was hatched to bring them in under their own group (CMC2) and learn what they can/cant do, and try to figure it out.
This is not too different to what happened when we first let the 4th gens in (they werent allowed at one point...who here is ready to say having them now is a bad thing?? Quiet Jeff! :wink: ) When we first allowed the 4th gens there were horror stories of how they'd become class killers. People thought there was no way a fox would compete with the "drastically superior front end geometry" etc. Well, we figured it out pretty much.
So...the goal as of now is to have one CMC class. The timing is likely to be measured in years. One step at a time, with the first being determining for sure just how low can we take a stock LS1 down to and then developing roadmaps for the existing platforms to get up to wherever that goal ends up being.
BUT...rest assured no matter what we wont leave any platform behind, thats just not an option.
I do hold the air time and distance record. :shock:Quote:

Back to ice cream and beer.
I actually said the same thing and thought the name should be something different.Quote:

Long Live CMC!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)
So much for keeping them seperate for a few years. One year. :xQuote:

If the Fox's, SN95's, and 3rd gens are going to be upping the power we would all greatly appreciate to know what to buy for this so we can be keeping our eyes open.
