7.5 lbs x 322 hp = 2415 +170 for driver = 2585. Shipping weight on a Cavalier is 2617 and Sunfire is 2771. By my math they will fit in 7.5 lb class unless the 2500 lb minimum applies to car only without driver. I don't have a rulebook handy and I don't have the FWD Comp, oops I mean GT rules memorized.
Regardless, a quick phone call to Glendora by the right folks would probably allow those cars in anyway. It's not like they haven't ignored the rulebook in the past.

I'm wondering how much appeal this new class might have? I can count the number of big blocks in division 7 on one hand and the number of big block GT/AA cars on one finger. We are a dying breed my friend.

Also, in terms of new cars being built, there are at least several dozen new Cobalts running around and Chevrolet has only been making them for 2.5 years now. McClanahan's Camaro is at least 3 years old and the other car mentioned has never been run. I think this is Dick's point in that the new cars are GT cars, not old school muscle.
