June Fastrack Out

I thought the Stratus weight was way off. So it should be the 2.5L V6 Stratus in ITA at 3000 lbs? That's not a bad engine (Mitsubishi). Not as good as the 3.0L V6 (which I think was about 200 hp) I had in my '02 Stratus coupe, but it could be an interesting build. Hey, maybe that's what happened when they classified the Daytona. They thought it was a V6!!

The 2.5 Stratus was only available as an automatic. The only Manual trans equipt Stratus 95-99 was the 2.0 SOHC

There's a possibility that the ITAC - in an effort to be more customer friendly? - hasn't been particularly strict about requiring complete vehicle technical specs before making classifications...

I see 3 SPU Rx-8's registered for the Homestead ECR this weekend. Testing the water for ITR perhaps? Could be a great race.

Looking at joshes previous response.

Who said they could get the MR2 down to the ITA weight (legally)?

Not to argue against them.. I would like there secret, without cutting into one of the many bulk heads on the car.

When the move came out in Fastrack I did an informal poll of our MARRS ITA drivers as to their current weights, I got responses of:

• 2290 w/155 lb driver
• 2360 w/150 lb driver (windows still in)
• 2350 w/210 lb driver

The secret - a really light driver?

Have you taken out the fuel tank and the surrounding shielding and insulation? i'm told there's quite a bit of weight there. And do you have your rear glass in? That's a bit heavy as well,

The ITAC took the safe road, something with a great alabi. Plan and simple
