While I feel that the IRS mustang should be allowed to donate its
suspension to the otherwise identical 99's, I also see the reason why it
wasn't classed that way. The potential of the IRS mustang is unknown,
certainly in SP trim to be sure. I would guess that the concern was
somehow making a sudden overdog and throwing off the balance of the
class. I'm not in ESP, and don't have a dog in this fight, but I guess I
can see why it was classed as such. As for why the IRS mustang is in
F-Stock and the Camaro SS is in Super-Stock, that's a horse (er, pony)
of a different color.
