Guess which stock class......

JamesShort · **Posted:** Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:24 pm

Ok, I know some of you know which car I'm describing, so keep it to yourself for a bit. I want to see what most peoples initial guesses are

....should be interesting/fun.

I am FWD.
I have struts in front and multi link (camber gaining) rear suspension.
I have stock camber allowance up to -2.3* in the front.
I have a helical/torsen style front 'LSD'
I am turbocharged.
I can fit 245 Hoosiers (possibly more).
I am 10mm lower than my little brother.
I have a much bigger rear bar than my little brother.
I have very lightweight racing seats.
I weigh about 2800 lbs in stock autox form
I am very underrated power-wise and put down to the wheels approximately what my factory crank power rating is....so approximately 250-270 chp

You were supposed to guess the class, but that's still wrong

C

edit: I think the power:weight is wrong for CS, more like AS Boxster/ M Roadster territory. With good neg camber I've no idea what the car is, let alone class..except that I may go buy one, whatever it is!

DS mazdaspeed 3

hp fwd and turbo map up fairly well to this. no idea about the rest.

Probably D stock unless the SCCA decides to bury it like they did the Mini S Works and then it would be C Stock.

<< Doesn't follow directions well

C Stock, for either of the suggestions.

Very interesting... FYI, it might be closer to 2800lbs...sorry.

I'd like to see a few more guesses before I let the point of the post be known

Ah...OK. I change my vote to U Stock. You know, for unicorns. :twisted:

I'll go ahead and say if I were presented with the info in the first post I would have immediately guessed D stock given it's almost the same as a Cobalt SS, WRX (no LSD), MS3 etc. Granted it has much more front camber than any DS car.

EDIT: Ok so that last line is poorly worded by me. The car is factory rated at ~230 chp but dynos show it making ~230whp so it's adjusted chp would be 250-270 chp. I reread that it seems like I was saying it had ~250-270 whp.

interesting...I keep forgetting about Cobalts--didn't know they were ~2800 lbs! But, also didn't see how it made -2.3 up front without aftermarket camber bolts...

What car is it?

I don't know how much a Cobalt SS weighs. I was just mentioning those 3 cars as comparables that happened to be D stock.

Cobalt SS weighs over 2,900 lbs. J-cars are heavy. Ask me how I know.
