I suspect that when (no offense to Dan or Taylor or any of the other present ITR guys) fully developed ITR cars arrive on the scene, they will be several seconds at worst faster at Road Atlanta than the existing ITS record.

I co-drove an ITR 2.8 BMW Z3 at the 13 hour. I wasn't particularly fast, but my co-driver was, best lap of 2:16 or about the same as the 944S2 from teh week before. That was with an entirely stock motor and LOADS of suspension development left to do. Point? All R cars still have a ways to go to be fully developed I think.
No offense taken Jeff. To correct you there is only a 85# difference from ITS (2850) to ITR (2765). I beleive a couple of seconds faster than ITS, depending on the track, not a few. IMO
