So about these Pony Cars for ITR...

[Ron Earp]

Chris refers to the V8 Pony Car proposal that was put in sometime ago.

I think the 99-04 would be fun car for ITR but not in the same realm as BMWs and other multivalve per cylinder cars with overhead cams. Next year the new body style Mustang should be available for ITR. It uses a SOHC 4L motor at 210 stock hp, should be perfect for ITR. Better suspension than the eariler cars (as good as live rears get), better brakes, more flexible power plant, and even better looks, if that means anything. I'm definitely going to ask to have it classed. Sooner or later the old Z will bite the bullet.

The V8 cars in the proposal were recommended at a much higher weight than what is discussed here. Basically the proposed versions averaged around 3200 lbs including the adder for torque but no modifers for suspension geometry or brakes.
