The WS-6 in stock form is classed in SuperStock (not to say it has a 
prayer of competing there). 370 torque at the rear wheels is FAR from 
any F Stock car. I'm not sure how well stock springs in ESP would work 
either.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but why do you want to spend more 
money to gain more torque and then take the added torque away with 
taller gears?

Perhaps the 335 tires should have been used, without adding anymore 
torque.

OTOH, I can't believe that there is *absolutely nothing* that could be 
done to improve Bob Tunnell's car either.

Easy to do when you never turn the steering wheel.<s> Seriously, even 
given the additional chance for straights in a ProSolo, the classification 
question spans both the ProSolo and Solo II.
