2nd gen BRZ points for 2024

Post by DanB » Fri Jan 19, 2024 2:40 pm

'23 BRZ *barely* keeps up in T50 in 2023, within tenths +/- everywhere, oh, that'll be +2.5 "Performance Adjustment" points!
Man, F y'all...

If anyone has a rationale for giving the '22+ BRZ/GR86 another +2.5 points for 2024 I'd like to hear it!
'17 Subaru BRZ PP, #7 T50
Gone but not forgotten: Datsun 240Z, #7 SPB :cry:

Dan, it should be 1.5 not 2.5.

I'll copy over the rational I had when agreeing with this proposal in the stewards chat (copy/paste from over there with other stewards names pulled):

We wouldn't be having this conversation if Dan Baldwin didn't buy one this year.
Fair points.

The base showroom values for Gen1 is 56.9 and now Gen2 is 63.4...I think that is plenty of points for the moment.
To be fair, a few of them dyno'd high at the COM dyno day too (Hector's car versus Shifflett, same day). Factory rating difference is 23, dyno day difference was 31. Doug's car made 7-8WHP less than Hector's car too, which would make this difference even more dramatic.

I think the data supports a modest change, but if the outcome here is no change I won't be upset.
