    Congrats on the new car! I think the RSX should be able to do pretty well in ITR... it'll definitely make good power and can fit a shit-ton of tire on the front. Only "interesting" part of it is the suspension and deciding how you're going to keep it from moving.

    That should be easy enough... say 1000-12000 lbs springs in the rear should do it! haha..

    From what I've heard, 1000-1200 would be waaaaaay too soft.

    I seem to recall the King Motorsports RSX (I THINK it was an RSX) World Challenge car running 7000 pounders in the back at Lime Rock...pre re paving. Of course, the wheel rate was only 3500.....

    That's great! ITR cars are starting to pop up more and more. I know there are lots of RSX's running 255's in front and I believe I have seen a few with 275's. Not to mention that thing is going to make some serious POWER in IT trim.

    If I were to build an ITR car today, the RSX-S would be near the top of my list. They can be made to handle quite well, but it's through some rather unorthodox methods.
