10 years from now Z06s will be in HS

 

So is CS going to be Z0K and MSR, 370z, Boxster, or RX8?

 

Yes. Plus everything else that was in the old BS and CS.

 

I guess I meant is there going to be some variety in this class or is one car going to dominate?

 

On paper I think many cars could win in solo -- ZOK, MSR, RX-8, 370Z, MR2-T, 986 Boxster. What many are not sure of is if competitors in all of these cars will still see their cars as being competitive...

If I personally had to buy a car for this class, I'd get a late model 986 Boxster with the 225hp, 2.7L engine. It'll be competitive in solo, and the car to have in Pro Solo.

 

as far as solo, i think there will be a good amount of course dependency in CS. i think the Z0K and the Z will have an advantage on sweeper-intensive courses with their big rubber, and the MS-R and RX-8 will have an advantage on runway/transition-heavy courses b/c of their weight advantage. the Z will probably scoot out of slow corners better than the rest. the Boxster seems like it will be good all-around but like the 8, maybe not the best at any one thing.

whether that ends up being the best or worst of all worlds remains to be seen, i guess.

i think this class will be pretty interesting; no one really knows how things will shake out. most decisions right now seem to be being made based on perception. no one knows how fast the Z really is; no one knows if the RX-8 can get faster or by how much. no one knows how the Boxster, MS-R, and Solstice really match up head-to-head w/ the Z and 8.
