With a few notable exceptions, practically every company has built something that can apply.
I always wondered if someone built an SM car to the limits if it could time close to a CP car. Just the seperation of the CP racing tires to the SM DOT tires would be a few tenths, but could you build an SM car to be with in a second or two of a CP car on a 2 minute long national course?

Do you me an F-body at the SM limit? Or something along the lines of what Mark Daddio built? I don't know if the F-body could get light enough to be competative on a national level. Power wouldn't be the issue, controlling it would be.
I posed a question on ffrax and LS1tech looking for pics of a full on CP 4th Gen and some of the discussion mentioned that a well sorted/driven ESP car could trophy in CP, but wouldn't be able to crack into the top 5. No mention of how a 4th gen if prepped would do in SM. I think the AWD cars just have too much advantage in that class. Especially when someone like Mark Daddio shows up in a purpose built machine that is well thought, thoroughly tested and driven by a national level driver. It'd be interesting, I rather take my shot at CP, though...more user friendly.
Someone buy my Firebird so I can buy a roller and go all out and not cut up what is still a pretty nice car......
