Rather then having a Fwd conversion hp for every engine combo, you would have say a 10hp penalty for any FWD conversion. It is obvious that something needed to be done because the FWD cars are obviously faster, but the big question is how much faster are they?

Thanks. That's what I was getting at, although I was thinking more along the lines of a weight penalty, whether it be static or a percentage, instead of continuing to gunk up the works with different HP factors.

Yes, I'm familiar with the "platforms" factoring. Great, so they've turned it into a lower form of Comp. "Combo got hit in one platform, so I'll just put it in a different platform car." Greeeeaat. Not too many people can afford to do that.
