This is my first post here after reading for some time now. I'm looking up change out of my STR Honda S2000 (8-ish years of ownership) and considering a lot of different directions from something in Street class to CM cars, some questions:
1. Is there one FF model/year that is a clear choice for CM competition in SCCA Solo II? I've read that there are a number of cars out there that are competitive, and to get the one that fits you the best. But, is there one brand that's a favorite? For reliability, ability to be tuned, parts availability, etc?
Looking at the CM results from 2008-2015, I've attached the breakdown of placings by the various makes and years of cars. The horizontal axis is the finishing place, the vertical axis is the number of times that car has finished in that position from 2008-2015. Example: No Van Diemens took first, but 4 Swifts took first in that time. I fear there is some self-selection within that data set as the results had less variety than I was expecting. Maybe some chassis have proven to be quicker/easier to adjust?
2. How do the cars handle bumpy autocross tracks? Our lot is an old runway that was deemed too bumpy for small planes to land on. Here's a recent video of me in my STR-prepped S2000 on that lot: http://youtu.be/7hrRt6xJGPc
Can a FF handle bumps like this regularly? I don't want to buy a car only to find out that they bottom out over 1" bumps or can't take that much load. I suspect that FIA curbing on a road course is way worse than anything I can throw at it in autocross, but I haven't seen anything specifically addressing that.

Is a C-Mod FF right for me?
