Never a IT.com thread until Miller throws a jab...

We can't speak for past classifications but the curb weight really has nothing to do with the classification UNTIL, as Darin said, it is used as a check to see if the car can GET TO our recommended weight.

The power and torque achievable in "full IT prep" are used along with many other factors like drivetrain layout, brake size, suspension desigh, etc, etc, ect.

Based on those factors and the current 'performance envelope' of the 4 classes, a car is placed. The curb weight is checked to see if it may be viable for the car to get to that weight. For instance, if you were to set a weight for the ITA 240SX in ITS, the target number would be way to light for the car to get there. That is just one red light that can go off if the class is totally wrong.

Take the E36 out of the equation because it is an anomoly from a power to weight right now.

Help of confuse?
