I guess my point is that menutia like wheelbase and track are items that could
bump you out of Prepared if they weren't spot on the original car. And I can
tell you that not many kit manufacturers are within those specs, mostly because
they use existing chassis.

Huh? That's why the rule about replicas got added to the Prepared section
isn't it? You take a 10% weight penalty and run away. Don't forget to
check the weight required for whatever motor displacement you have. With
the recent changes to AP, worst case you should go there. Its certainly
not hard to check track and wheelbase...
