My opinion for a stock class is that it needs to be equal and fair and sadly (for you) that comes with a bunch of rules. Rules that does not hurt the experience of real racing.
Unfortunately, yes, it is true. Sales have to continue at a very consistent rate. There's only a handful of companies out there that can sustain a profitable business without releasing something "innovative" (yes I use that term loosely) every six months. These companies we buy from are far from rich.
