What have you upgraded so far and what year/model?


oh no.. I'm wondering if the SS coupe is eligible for STX... I faintly remember that it
needs to have 4 doors...

Yup, both STX legal. From what I understand in STX you can tune,but not change the boost level. I wonder how much power we can make with just some timing mods and unlock the ECU to get rid of the learndown to take advantage of allowable intake and exhaust mods? Should be able to put a good bit to the ground with 265s. I was planning to go from DS to STX next year but now I've got a baby on the way,so, we'll see.

From what I was thinking I should be able to place first in pax at the local level if I can move to STX and drop 2 seconds off my current times. Shouldn't be a problem , I'm still on stock tires.

My guess is that the SS/TC will get you put into STU, the EVO, STi and CSRT4 are all barred from STX, so should the SS/TC.

hmm thought the STI an srt (over 2.0L) were not allowed due to the displacement. Not sure though.

STX limit is 2.0 liter for forced induction so the SS/TC is all good. LNF is 1998cc
