Aside from the afremoentioned Subie; NAyone have aliost of AWD non fored induction cars that might be considered for it*?
As for Turbos- every leadership board thinks they have the 'way' of keeping them in check; look at the results in the T classes over hte past couple years to see what a fiasco that turned out to be.... I would urge strong caution before allowing FI cars into IT.

Some cars off the top of my head:
2004 R32 fit into ITR? 240hp 3.2 vr6, awd
Audi TT 3.2 same deal.
Audi Quattro Coupe from 80s/90s were all available in awd, non boosted variants
Same for Audi 100
Same for Audi 80
Same for Audi A4
Probably other Audis...
E30 325 ix
Honda civic wagon of some vintage
Toyota Matrix
Would the early Carrera 4 fit in ITR?
Subaru SVX
Early AWD 911's?

AWD = no.
turbo = someday (5-10 years out).
i see some 1.0 liter turbos in our future as we go back to the days of the 1977 Civic CVCC 5 speed or 1983 GTi's to try and get the corporate fuel economy up there.
1985 CRX Si competed in Solo II: AS, CS, DS, GS
1986 CRX Si competed in: SCCA Solo II CSP, SCCA ITA, SCCA ITB, NASA H5
1988 CRX Si competed in ITA & STL
I think that AWD would be much easier to account for in the Improved Touring formula than a turbo or supercharger.
I think AWD would be great and a fun addition.

So-
interesting responses.
How many of you have written in? All you have to do is what you've already done here. Copy and paste with an intro if you like, just BE HEARD! YOU make a difference.
More than any category I bet, the ITAC wants to talk to you and wants to hear what you say..so engage. (and if you are new to the club, you probably don't know how much of a change that reall is, and what it truly represents.)
Here, I
I'll make it easy.

Jake-
I have sent in my request supporting AWD in IT!!! I also put in a request to consider the 1986 Audi 4000 Quattro and the 1990 Audi Coupe Quattro. We have 2 of the 1990 Audi Coupe Quattros waiting a ready to be built!
I also wrote in and asked why my prior requests have not been addressed yet. I am waiting on 4 or 5 months now??? They had great follow-up in the begining, but I did expect something by the June edition of Fast Track.
As for the AWD thing, I bet we will need to wait a long time before anything happens. Even though they requested info, I think the think they are addressing bigger issues, such as running all current cars through the process.

We have a huge list of ITB questions that we wanted to take care of all at once, and yours was one Raymond. We had some questions re: finalizing procedures and practices and wanted to be sure that we dealt with all of the B issues under the same assumptions. I actually spent a bunch of time building a spreadsheet of specs on the many cars in question and we now have enough information - I think - to break that logjam.
K
EDIT (for Ray and anyone else asking for listings or review) - It is VERY helpful if you can provide a pdf of or url linking to the general specs the ITAC needs for consideration, including the ITCS specs plus stock power/torque values. It's also helpful if you provide model/year series information, explaining which cars have the same specs, if/when they changed substantially, etc.

Build one and it will win. I have always been a fan of the svt and believe as far as FWD cars in ITS it is by far the best option. Getting one down to weight will probably be a challenge but obtainable. I would assume that based on the SVT being classed in S that a regular Focus wilth the Mazda 3 2.3 liter motor will be an A car. Specifically the most popular Focus with this motor is the 4 door ST which is what I have as a daily driver. It has all of the SVT suspension with the exception of springs and has 151hp and 154tq. This would make sense with the clasification of the '04 Mazda 3.

Wrote my email in favor of classifying normally-aspirated AWD cars in IT. My brother and I want to build an Audi 4000.
