Roll bar and cage are different, most cages(especially costumed) have door bar as well, in that case you have to remove the door panel of course. Most people use DOM pipe instead of expensive cormolly for cages, if you have experiences of making a rollcage or bar, you will know how heavy those DOM pipe is. A DOM based 6-7 point cage with door bars and harness bar weight more than 200lbs, how much total weight for door panels, carpet, plastic covers?

I don't think rules should made to match several cars, you have to working on your cars by follow those rule. So if there is no way to classified by power/weight ratio, at least give a little more room for each classes.

I personally have the GTC-200 with 2.5" risers and counted it as a level 2 wing.

I think that makes sense...it does provide a decent amount of downforce from what I've been able to tell. I've never driven in a car with say a CR wing, but from the looks of it...I don't think it would be considered an equivalent. Agreed?

I think William gave up a chance at a podium finish by letting me use his Giant GTC200 wing . I did exactly one hot lap with it, went 4.5sec faster and won street (Thanks!). Traffic and other guys getting stuck in the mud delayed things so he never really got a clean lap for the rest of the day.

it is a gigantic 67" gtc300 wing. Not small GTC200 wing. Emilio sells both.

Don't think I ever had the chance as a s2k noobie.
