Back in 2002 I was looking for a tow vehicle. I wanted diesel, but the cost was too high even used.

I fould a 99 Dodge 2500 with 8.0L V10. I got that for 2/3 the price of a diesel. I love it...

This quote is the truth.

Sure wings an aero are cool, but don't be fooled into thinking they will improve the racing any.

I have seen at least 1 or 2 late 944 that have used 15x7 early offset wheels(23mm). The tires just fit under the fenders if you had enough camber. This might give you more options. I am not sure...

I am the Arizona director of 944 spec and have been involved in 944 spec since 2002. I also have been closely involved in the 944 spec rules for 5 years. I built my 944 from the ground up back in...

I have run with and without split starts.


The best thing about split starts is that it allows you race class time to sort it self out before traffic begins to play a role. In mixed start if...

Like Vaughan said T-bars are just like coil springs.

The 944 rear suspension works farily well although there 3 issues.

1) tendancy to tow out under braking (bushing material and toe settings...

It is a little complicated, but Tim Comeau, NASA, PCA & POC don't have anything to do with these rules.


Spec-944 was created in 2002 in Arizona just a few months after 944-spec was created in...

You can get 245's on a 7" wide wheel? Most of the time you use those on 8" wide wheels.

If you can get 245's on a 7 then used 245 all around. Gives the the car a much better balance. 225's and...

15x7 Fuchs wheels are the best OEM wheel.

Light & strong being forged aluminum. I know a few racers here in Az with sets of these that they are looking to sell. Our spec rules do not allow that...

Well
I can tell...

That is a 924 (2.0L ITB). Only some of them came with spoilers. All 944 had spoilers. The 924S has a smaller spoiler than a 944, but looks similar.

944 spec rules philosphy is when it comes to weight reduction.


"If you can unbolt it, scrap it off, is non metal and can cut it off, and the car is still safe to run and operate in racing...

Yes we are getting 2600lbs in 944 spec.

here is how.... Not sure all that is legal to remove in IT. Also some chassis just seem to be quite heavy. Not sure why, but they stuggle to get to...

My thoughts are the 944 would be more popular in ITA at 2800lbs.

Why?

A 100% build car might be fine in ITS at 2575lbs
A 100% build car might be fine in ITA at 2800lbs

Now... that...

A oval part of a roval is just like any other corner. However they tend to be very long, high speed, banked corners.

I run Phoenix as my home track and there for me the turns 3-4 of NASCAR track...

Thanks, :P




This may not always be the case if that 100% build costs 3x what it does for the other 100% cars in class. HOWEVER the corellary is nearly always ture. If a 100% build car...

Jake I think you are quite right.


The 2.5L 8valve 944 is a great racing platform. It has lots of really nice things going for it that make it a wonderfull car to race and in certin forms...

But ZERO Porsches were front wheel drive. (unless you want to race a 911 backwards :P )

I posted that 140 rwhp number for a reason.

If the goal is to get 944 guys to run IT then it is probably the most effective method. However it does not follow the ideals IT was found ong.
...

I agree. There in lies the problem however for anybody looking to build 944 for IT racing. No matter the class or weight it needs a "155 whp" motor to be competitive. That costs big money and most...

IMHO the 944 8valve cars make great race cars. IT prep is pretty good for the cars except for 1 thing.

MOTOR....

The cars take well to alot of chassis mods and there is a nice aftermarket...

Actually you can. It is as simple as unbolting the old stuff and bolting the new stuff on. In the rear you would swap the entine t-bar carrier with complete rear suspension and 1/2 shafts. In...

Chris,
I am not up on all the IT rules, but I run 944 NASA 944 spec. In this class we can strip out just about everything that does not make the car go, but we keep stock steel body & stock...

In my case it was part of the firewall. Due to the geometries of the car I mounted it to bolt in shear to the under horizontal surface of the battery tray. I backed it with large washers on each...

here is mine.
