Your proposal makes a lot of sense, Ken, but it still puts the OEM in the drivers seat (pun intended!) to publish a realistic HP figure to establish a baseline. Until that happens, nothing is going to change the inequities we now have. I have always had a problem with how the Classification Guide is put together. The factory decides what model/engine combination is listed. There are whole years that no models are published. Why? If the OEM builds it, I should be able to race it! That would make more combination's available, and the engines would not need to be rated differently in two very similar body styles. What class would a CTS-V station wagon fit in?
This problem isn't going away anytime soon, sad to say! But as long as we can suggest alternatives, there's still hope!!
