79 SCIRRCO 1.6L

[LOBSTA1]

HI ALL WAS WONDERING IF A 79 SIRACCO (SPELL) IS COMPETIVE IT ITC ANYMORE? OR WAS IT EVER REALLY? LSO COULD U PUT A 1.8L IN IT AND RUN ITB? WHAT IS THE BEST ITB - ITC CAR TO RUN NOW? THANKS GLENN

[Bill Miller]

Glenn,

Please turn off the caps lock and stop 'yelling'.

To answer your question, a Mk I Scirocco 1.6 is probably one of the cars to have in ITC. They are consistant winners/front runners.

And no, you can't put a 1.8 in it and run it in ITB.

Weight for an ITC Scirocco is 2040#, with either of the 1.5s or the 1.6. And yes, you can remove the pass. seat.

thanks Bill, so a Rabbit is still lighter to run i think those are 1980lbs? but is the scirocco better iI mean lower Coffecent of drag? thanks again Glenn

[Bill Miller]

Glenn,

Both the Rabbit and the Scirocco will run up front. I believe the Scirocco weighs more to make up for the better aerodynamics. Both will run up front in ITC.
