your completly right, as always. I am just looking at it from a cost point of view. The cost to build a high power NA honda, with a sequential gearbox is huge, and the relaibility is probably as dubious as the K.
I must admit, if i was to build a race car for class B, i would stay K series, get the weight as low as possible, then decide how much power i needed to meet the regs. In fact, thats probably the best way to do it in every class.
Thing is though, my car isnt really a race car. It gets ragged up and down the motorway at hundreds of tuts per hour. it doesnt get much in the way of sympathy. I still drive to work in it, and i use it on the road. The appeal of the SC is that its not only cheaper, but if i blow an engine, then i just buy another standard honda.
Anyway, not really fussed about the SC, as long as everyone is playing to the same rules.
I never really planned on S/C mine largely because it becomes increasingly hard and more expensive to insure plus the running costs increase quite significantly. However, at this sort of price it might be worth buying one anyway. Of course the running costs for mine is currently zero discounting tax and insurance.
