Did anyone else like the ranks from the now-defunct board? Or were they too esoteric for you? I kind of preferred them, but of course I'm biased...

HMM, I don't know, the V2 version would decrease my rating every so often.

I don't really pay attention to the ranks. So, I bet you're asking yourself "why did he reply to this thread?" Well, I don't have a good answer for it.

Ok, they are back. We have such an odd spread of posters, though, it's hard to categorize them. There are 550+ users, but only 35 people have more than 50 posts, including admins. I think there is only one person who falls into the middle "4.0L IMSA V8" category.
Since you've all seen all the ranks by now, I will list them out:
New Member
3.5L V6 Member: 215hp
4.0L V8 Member: 250hp
3.5L IRL V8 Member: ~650hp, used in the IRL for 2001 on.
4.0L IMSA V8 Member: ~650hp, used in the IMSA WSC winning car in 1996, won outright in Sebring and Daytona that year, contested LeMans but retired 1/2 way with a gearbox failure.
4.0L IRL V8 Member: ~700hp used in the IRL for 1997-2000 seasons.
4.4L IMSA V8 Meber: ~750hp, used in the IMSA GTS-1 winning cars in 1996, dominated their class winning 10 of 11 races.
4.0L TT ALMS V8 Member: ~900hp, twin-turbo version of the IRL V8. Used in the Cadillac LMP900 for the 2000-2002 ALMS seasons as well as contesting LeMans. It podiumed a few times but never did as well as hoped, due mainly to the car, not the engines, shortcomings.
