Something was done, maybe not enough

Manufacturer Engine Minimum Weight
GM Ecotec Series 2,000 pounds
Honda B16 Series 1,800 pounds
Honda B18 Series 1,900 pounds
Honda H Series 1,900 pounds
Honda K Series 1,900 pounds
Mazda I4 Series 1,900 pounds
Mitsubishi 4G63 Series 1,900 pounds
Mopar 2.2 Series 1,900 pounds
Mopar 2.4 Series 1,900 pounds

 

ok no more crying let get to work and get to the front of the pack

 

Thats the most retarded thing ive ever seen. I have no idea why all the weights are the same yet they give a break for a b16??? Stupid...I mean, if they made a weight drop because of CC's...why do 2.4L's at the same as 1.8L???

Yeah, no more bitching...lets just go F_ck some **** up!!!

 

its good to see they noticed there was a problem and fixed it fast. i think it will even out the field a lot more.

 

Did you guys miss the 150 pound penalty for the non original trans? The Sunfire
will now need to weigh 2150. 250-350 pounds more then everybody else, might
slow them down .3 to .4

"The chart of minimum weights provides us with an effective means to periodically adjust combinations to minimize any competitive advantage one engine might have over another."

So that means everyone now nows the GM ecotec engines are better then Honda engines since they can not make as much HP no matter what type H, B or K series

think the GM guys will answer by making more power! to over come the penalty
look at where they started and where they are now they have been getting faster with time not slower like Kenny has

Im not a fan of domestics myself
I drive n race a Import
but I like to see peoples hard work pay off and not be robbed

They built the car to the rules

Anybody can work harder but if you can't spend harder, you won't be competitive.
Do you want to loan me 30K for a tranny?
