What do you all think? ETRSCCA constantly only has maybe 1 person run any of the FWD classes and iirc 5 out of the 13 rallyx's last year didnt have any FWD cars. FTD is odd as well, times usually go 1 person from MA followed by 2 from SR as fastest of the day. It usually goes MA WRX, SR Miata, SR 4th gen Camaro followed by MA, SA/SR.
I am leaning toward SR since i feel like it wouldn't be fun having no competition to compare myself too, and lets be fair if you dont run a 2.5 RS/WRX you wont be that competitive in SA when the rest in the class do.
Meh. Run what ya brung. Compare lap times to others that aren’t in your class. You’ll get more seat time that way.
In reply to Trackmouse :
dont have a car for rallyx yet.

Class with competition. You get the same amount of seat time no matter what.
Id say get something in as good of condition as you can for your budget that looks like fun, and fall into whatever class it fits into. If courses there are really rough, budget for rally tires and run in Prepared or mod.
Ages ago I ran in PF, which seems to be one of the most undersubscribed classes around our area, except for maybe PR. I just tended to compare my times against others in my run group. Now I run in MF, which usually has a healthy number of entries, and I still compare my times against other cars in my run group, not just my class.
Unless you have a strong need to compare against similar cars, I’d suggest going with what looks like the most fun. I’m thinking of switching to a RWD class just so it’s easier to slide around 
Edit: When I ran in PF(with a V6 Corsica), I was really happy on the rare occasions I beat a WRX, even though they aren't in the same class.

Ran mr and suddenly mr was huge. And then i switched from mr to pf and suddenly pf was a huge class. Hmm.
Forget what classes are bigger. RWD is more fun. Run RWD :)
We ran a car in the two car FWD class one weekend last summer. We finished second. We had a good time and we're trying to avoid finishing dead last. We barely did by luck of a couple of dnf's. Rallycross was a one time thing for us. My friend and I have too much going on to devote time to car prep, travel, etc..
I would follow the same path again. Low cost of car acquisition, minimal prep, ignore classification, go have fun. Sean drove the car one session and Tony was excited to be within 2 seconds of his time.
We did the whole weekend under $1000 including car and we have a tested car to sell to recover part of that cost.
