That's a load. Matt's SP STi was pretty well setup and it was not at all a dominant car in our region. Sure the Vettes are national champs and all, but if the STi were an overdog, I'd expect Matt to win one or two despite his relative lack of experience.
But on the other hand... here's an ASP car:

(yes, that's the $200,000 turbo 911 GT2 that has 462hp bone stock, never mind what it probably makes in ST trim with the boost cranked up)
I totally see the STi being able to compete!
....and Mike, this is the sort of stuff to pad the RenoSCCA forums with!
