C5, C6 and both C5Z06 and C6Z06 are in SS the C4 is in AS. CAI will bump you to ASP but nobody will give you a hard time at the regional level. Usually the top guys in SS are faster than the ASP cars anyway.

C5 non Z06 is AS isn't it? I was sure there was a difference between the two in Autox classifications.

Would a CAI (as basic as they come) bump my z51 C6 into a street prepared or some higher class? I saw in the SCCA rules that a changed filter would not, but I must have missed ref to an actual CAI.

If that's the case, I think I will be reinstalling the factory filter assymbly tonight!
