Reliability? As compared to what? Frankly, guys, F500 is FAR from being a reliable configuration. Compare our DNS/DNF statistics to the rest of the grid. For that matter, look at reliability at the Runoffs - and it's not like people don't prepare for that event. I'll give you a target to aim for. Last weekend, I ran a Miata in a regional at Summit Point. 36 cars started, and 35 finished. That's roughly the same number of cars as we had at the Runoffs - how many DNFs happened there? How many do we see in an average national race weekend? Bang for the buck in terms of speed? Yes, F500 is the undisputed leader in SCCA. Reliability, however, is probably the biggest problem we have in terms of reputation and attracting new members. (This is perhaps second to low regional participation levels.)
