What do you Toyota guys think about the '00 - '05 Spyder in ITA? 1.8L DOHC, 138 HP/125 TQ - and considering it would probably come in at what, 2500-2600 lbs, maybe for once a car even the largest of us would have to add some weight to.

Numbers look right on. Rather Miata like, with the dread mid-engine advantage. Peaky motor in that car, but should be a good fit.
If someone wants to take the first crack at a proposal, I'd be more than happy to help/edit/work on it/get numbers for it.

Seems like an interesting addition. PLEASE make sure that any proposal requesting that it be listed come with VTS documentation. We (the ITAC) have been a little bit lax about putting the onus on submitters to provide that information and we're bogging down getting decisions made in a timely manner, because in many cases we're missing information and have to go looking...

Did the car come with, or have available from Toyota, a hardtop?

Would the fact that the car is already classed in SSB help any with the VTS requirements? I would still be willing to do the leg work and put in the proposal, but I didn't know if the specs already on file would cut down on the required paperwork. I think this might be a good car for ITA, although I'll have to go find one and see if I can get my 6'-4" ass into the seat. The reviews I've read say that they're more spacious than a Miata, and I know there are some 6'+ dudes out there in the Mazdas.
As an aside, I can't imagine this car competing in SSB with the likes of the MX-5, Z4, Solstice, or even the V6 Camaros and Firebirds. I have to wonder how many of them were ever built.
