The art of assigning cars to classes in scca autocross is based on actual performance capability, hence any AWD vehicle is handicapped much as in handicap horse racing with the intention to negate any design superiorities.....so its a worthless distinction to not win your class in scca solo. My 99 Miata was dominant when it first came out then newer cars were placed in the class and now they are dominant. One of the drawbacks of running in a stock class in scca autocross. Buy a competitive car and classifications can change next season and make it uncompetitive.
