I think we should be more aggressive both before and after the fact. We
should've banned 1LEs and M030s right up front. Part of the reasoning behind
allowing 1LEs, Z07s, etc. is that you can easily build one if you want. You
can NOT easily make a GSR into a Type R.
My feeling is that 3000/year of a model should be a minimum. Where to draw
the line as to what is a different model is the problem with the Type R.
Different motor might be one place. That would make a Type R a different
model, but not make a !LE different.
