3.152L
But it does exclude a big market of _autocrossers_ -- not potential
autox'ers, but active autox'ers -- turbo-charged and super-charged M3s
who autox with the BMW CCA. They would love to also autox with the SCCA,
but just can't get excited about E Mod. But that crowd of FI M3s are
actually excluded by both proposals.
Thus, I vote for Proposal A but humbly request to push the OHC limit up
to 3.2L (or at least 3.16L ;^).
OTOH, if we had STU-small and STU-big, I would like Proposal B real well
for STU-small and then same thing with larger limits for STU-big. STU-big
would let my friends play -- and STU-small would let my NA M3 play AND get
that big-brake kit I always wanted (not legal in CSP, where I am now).
