a stock spec car like those raced in the US will cost you 3 times the cost of a modified car as everything is geared to make the car as light as it legally can be which costs a lot of money. We state that all new drivers run 13.5t motors at our club in our rookie class this is to do with teaching them how to drive the car not the car drive them and have them bouncing all over the track and into other cars and breaking not just there own but others. When we first switched to eos carpet we did introduce a motor limit of 10.5t the racing was close and fun but to bring in a true stock class you would have to have specific rules and regulations i.e cars have to be out the box no lightweight parts set motors only x motors from a list to be used same with batteries so it would be down to pure driving. the one problem for a club any club to do this is to actually scrutineer the cars to make sure no one is cheating most club racing only have time to book in and race with track setting up(for many clubs that's because there is not many who have a permanent indoor track) and time limiting with the venues they race in most have set times to be in and out
