My initial take on Kirk's list was pretty much what Andy confirmed, FWD cars w/ 125 stock hp end up in ITA. If you put them in ITB, you do essentially what I was talking about a while back, you raise the bar.
Another problem w/ most of those cars, is that they're pretty heavy to start with. Most are North of 2400#, might be hard to get them to ITA weight, and they'd be pigs at ITB weight (essentially what happened w/ the New Beetle when it was put in ITC).
Gotta admit though, the Civic DX and the Mazda Protege look like naturals for ITB, and the Mitsu Mirage and the Hundai Accent look like naturals for ITC. And they're 'sporty' enough looking, and in the case of the Honda and the Mazda, have some racing heritage, that people may actually want to race them.

Go put a stock 16v VW on the scales. My bet is it will be in the 2450 range. 123/134 hp for 1.8/2.0 respectively. I agree, lots of those cars look like A material.
