Default 4 cell 1/12th Scale Stock Parity with LiPo

We have a 1/12th Scale 4 cell Stock class that is just getting off the ground at my club.

Some guys want to come over from Touring Cars, which is great. The only problem is that they only have LiPo cells.

Obviously there is a big difference between a Stock motor (either a 27T brushed or 17.5 BL) powered by a 4 cell pack (4.8 V) and one powered by a LiPo pack (7.4 V).

We would like to be able to have these racers race with us but clearly they can't use a Stock motor with the cells they want to use.

Can anyone suggest motors (both brushed and brushless) that will perform equally (to a 4 cell powered stock) when powered by a LiPo pack?

Some suggestions for the brushed motor have been the Tamiya Sport Tuned or the Johnson Grey 540 motor. Are either of these suitable? Is there a brushless motor slower than a 17.5?
