Vehicle Classing
Power to Weight Based
Your car’s classification will be based on a formula using your car’s weight, your engine’s OEM horsepower, torque and a cumulative modifier percentage resulting in a class and associated minimum weight. Our modifiers are based on vehicle age, drivetrain and suspension layouts, engine modifications, tire type and width, differential, transmission, suspension updates and aero devices.
Check out our Calculator Tool to see how your car “ranks” in our power to weight NEGT classing system. The Calculator will generate your car’s modified NEGT power to weight ratio as well as your current class and minimum weight for said class.
Think of this modified NEGT ratio as your overall performance number or score, with a lower number being quicker. A higher number will mean a slower class, a lower number will mean a quicker class. More modification points to a car, even those not related to engine power, has the same effect as more power or less weight, and results in a lower ratio. More weight or less mod points will then do the opposite and give a higher ratio.
Northeast GT features classes such as GT7 and GT18. The # in each class name represents the “cutoff” ratio for that class. For example, the cutoff, lowest and quickest ratio for GT14 is 14:1. The lower the number, the higher the overall performance level of the car.
Purpose built and forced induction classifications will be verified and approved on a case by case basis to ensure parity. Supercharged and ported rotaries applications should contact the series for classing.
