RX-7tt: 2-Seater
Vette: 2-Seater
Neither are legal in the class.
The car has to have 4 seats. And the 911 is out of the picture because
of the front engine requirement.

I hate to say it, but I think the hot car for the class is gonna be a
big-buck Honda Civic (yes, it really does have four seats). It's itsy
bitsy small, really light, and can go really quick. Drop in a turbo'd
Honda mill, and it'd be scary.
Take a well built CSP Civic, say...the Lamkin/Despelder car, and drop
in a built to the hilt powerplant with gobs of power and torque, and go
kick some asphalt. CSP turns near ASP times in many cases, I think it'd
be a terribly potent autox weapon.
