Considering the competition in Street Tire next year... one blink might be the difference. Good point about the SS lines though. Tough call. Removing the cat won't require a new exhaust though, you can just cut and paste a piece of 3" tubing in its place.
I'm actually thinking about doing that for catless track days.

Back to the Nxx competition... I really think that SM is the place to be. Mods are all but unlimited (except for that one cat) and the PAX isn't all that far off from everyone else. The drawback is simply: can I afford to build my car to the rules. There's no reason that my car can't legally put 300awhp down in SM trim... I just can't afford the mods. You NESP STi drivers have the advantage as long as IGT doesn't give me a big raise.
