Apparently you misintrpreted my point, which i guess is why you didn't quote the entire post. I didn't intend to imply that Joe was not fast, or was not trying to go faster. I think we all watch results online week in/week out. If thats how it came across, My apologies Joe.

What I did want to get across is that a FWD conversion has a clear advantage per the current rules. Ask any chassis builder. People arn't building them because they make the coolest looking drag car. They are building them because they are FAST! Although I think a Cavalier is a smooth looking Super Stocker(wouldn't mind one myself), I try telling anyone out of the know about one, and all I get is "A Cavalier? Yea, I seen one of them coming out of a trailer park" or "My Niece drives one of those". So It makes it kinda hard to describe what is clearly the pinnacle of perfomance in the GT class. I'm not asking for some help going fast. All I'm asking is that we fix a system that penalizes two groups of cars for one's actions. Does anyone really think a performance based person would run a big heavy wagon in GT now that it is allowed? Every hit a Cavalier/Colbalt takes doesn't nearly effect it as much as a wagon 6-8 classes down.
