I, on the other hand, have tried adapting a purpose built GT car into a modified class with some success but cannot compete with the new style Cobalts and Cavaliers.

Personally, I would run Comp all day long if I could. I love racing SS as much as anyone but love the thought of no break-out that much more. Unfortunately, unless I switch cars, I am stuck in SS.

Yes, there is a big difference in performance between a Comp Super Modified chassis and a Super Stock GT car.

So what would b e the biggest difference between the two chassis. Is it weight bias, engine location, center of gravity, rigidity, or something different entirely?

When comparing the 2 cars, it is a night and day difference in all the items you listed!

X2! Chassis builders say it is easier for them to build a Super Modified car than a GT car.

For Norwalk, there are more than twice as many S/S cars (70) entered as Comp (30). It's much easier to get a high % of entries when the quota for Comp is less than half the cars of S/S.

Competition Eliminator 34 30 88.2%

Super Stock 75 70 93.3%

Yes, I understand that.

I see no reason for panic. Lol.
