If the existing rules were applied equally to every car and not exempt certain groups there would be no issue like this. That's the whole point you're missing. Had all the FS combos been required to face the same ahfs as everyone else then factors would most certainly be more correct than they are. At one time the LT-1 and LS-1 combos had an edge due to factors but that eventually worked itself out. This exempting certain classes and thus those combos is what is the issue. And suggesting a fundamental change like you did is never an answer.
