Broken
1. (General) Something/Someone that is so good in a particular context that it eclipses saecond place.
2. (Games) A game object or facility that is too good to exist. It is so powerful that it is unbalancing and hence breaks the game. Every winning player has to use this to be competitive.
Entymology: The power cards from Magic The Gathering (Black Lotus, Time Walk, Ancestral Recall, all Moxen, etc) were so powerful and unbalancing that they were eventually banned from tournament play because they BROKE the game.

At the latest local league meeting, I argued that the RX-8 is broken if they keep it in the "C-class" that it's currently in. The classes are ridiculously lax, since it's more for fun and whatnot... but I think that the car breaks the game. For those that don't know, this is how the "classes" work for us:
A = 8 or more cylinders, F/I 6 cylinders, twin-turbo rotary
B = 5-6 cylinders, F/I 4 cylinders, single-turbo rotary
C = 4 or less cylinders, N/A rotary
I can see the older RX-7s being given a break and let into the C-class, but I feel that the current "Renesis" rotaries are way too good. I think SCCA classes them in B-stock and STX, which are kinda high on the food chain. Anyway, the rest of the ruling board didn't agree with me, and it was decided that the RX-8 stay in the C-class.
So I'm wondering, if I were to pick up an RX-8... or maybe wait until the bigger 1.6L rotaries come out, just how much a** will it kick?
