Seems to me, once the car's past a certain age, competitors ought to be
able
to do ANYTHING to make it competitive with newer cars in the same class
with
the latest engineering, from a safety and performance standpoint.

agreed.

IMHO, Stock class IS a measure of one's ability to afford and then choose
a
late-model competitive car -- and then drive it well.     :)

could not disagree more.  Cars should be classed  with old and new even. 
If a new car is need every 4 years then the price of winning getting as
high as road racing.  If you have to spend that kind of money to be
competitive at this level why not move up and get 18 laps of seat time
instead of 55 seconds.  Remember, this is the bottom rung of sports car
racing, the bottom should not catch the top.
