Dunno, I'd posed it as a question myself earlier. It would require some research and common sense. FWD Stockers have a static 100lb weight difference between sticks & automatics. SS/GT Trucks have a weight break for automatics that is "5% or 250 lbs, whichever is less". Again, they'd have to do some research, but would probably end up something like the latter. I don't see that the administration would be much different than what they're doing now, except you wouldn't have a single engine combination with 3 different HP factors!
