If you had the rear seats you could've been in STS. But with the seat being removed, well that is sounding like SM. Put the seat back in and join me in STS.:D

is the wing aloud in STS??? i guess it would depend on how big it is.
but yea sounds like an SM car to me too

Under rule 14.2 F:
F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, body kits, rear wings and nonfunctional
scoops/vents is allowed. The intent of this allowance
is to accommodate commonly available appearance kits, and
replicas thereof, which have no significant aerodynamic function
at Solo speeds. Body kits are limited to bumper covers, valances,
side skirts, and fender flares. Standard parts may not be
removed except for the substitution of spoilers, rear wings,
bumper covers and valances. Rear wings must attach only aft of
the rear wheel centerline. Total surface area of all spoilers, splitters
and rear wing may not exceed 8 square feet as seen from
above (see 12.9). Substitution of rear spoilers or wings must
retain any original third brake light functionality unless otherwise
equipped. No underbody panels may be added or substituted.
The drilling of holes for the purpose of mounting these
pieces is permitted.

So yes, the wing is allowed if it doesn't exceed 8 sq ft.

STS is a street tires class, SM is race tires. I'd recommend adding the rear seat back in and going to SM, you'll be more competative.

that would be like an A mod wing on a 240 you think the extra downforce would help??

Do you mean STS?

thanks guys, ill throw the back seet in and join the sts. i appreciate all the help.......lol "if the wing doesnt exceed 8 sq. ft." its big, but i dont plan on flying with it. i think a wing that big would do more for you in shear weight than anything else, though i guess it could be argued... lol thanks again for the info.
