Reading... but not believing. Making the car heavier only makes the engine have to work harder. With all my previous engine woes, that's the last thing I'd do- add weight.

An ap1 at HPDE weight is right around 2700lbs (full tank, full interior, no spare or tool kit). A rather intensive cage shouldn't add more than 100lbs or so. I couldn't imagine adding 235lbs of ballast/crap to the car to be classed better. You should just cut some weight and drive faster.

I had it special made. It sounds like you don't really want it anyway.

So to be clear, you're trying to dress up as a girl to play in the girls league cuz you can't hang w/ the boys?

This is what I was thinking.

You're taking your wonderfully performing S2000 and DECREASING its performance by adding weight, instead of increasing the performance by cutting weight. You need to pick a new class to run in. You should have a bumper sticker that reads..."Your S2000 is faster than my S2000"

Adding weight is unorthodox
