In the rule book under comp coups it say when chopping the top "the front and rear chop shall be equal".
So as an example if I take 3 inches out of the front and 3 inches out of the back the roof will come straight down and be parallel to its original position. That is what I have considered legal.
Now example 2, is this legal?? Take 3 inches out of the front. Then cut the bottom of the "C" pillar where it attaches to the body leaving the very back of the "C" panel attached to the top of the trunk. So the front part of the "C" panel would disappear down into the body as the front of the top is lowered. In this case the top is no longer parallel to its original position, but angled down. The front was lowered 3 inches and the back was lowered , but maybe not 3 inches and we have now changed the angle of the top in relation to the ground and the way the air will move over it and down onto the back of the car. Is this legal?? Was the back chopped or does the rule not cover this situation??
