Here's my point then I'll let it be...

None of these PT cars in question were fast from the factory, they all need work to be fast, some more than others but they all need work. They can all be made to be fast...fast enough that driver skill is going to put one above the other taking the car out of the equation for the most part.

The difference between being fast and very fast is about 30% car and 70% driver. Classes can't do anything about the driver, so working with just that 30% factor, the biggest part of that is going to be tire...how much of it is gripping the track. That's where the rubber meets the road. If you don't want to end up with 287 different classes for PT cars (and who does) the main way to separate them should be by tire size. ANY of the makes, models and years being discussed can be made to be just as fast as the rest of them, there is no need to try to separate them out by make, model, or year (other than putting the factory two seaters in their own class).

I don't want to exclude the "Outlaw" cars with super wide rubber and stripped interiors, I just don't think they should be running with those of us with stock interiors and rubber that fits under stock fenders.
