AWD in ITR or ITS?

[StephenB]

So I haven't done a ton of research But I have started the thought process... I absolutly love driving in the rain and driving AWD :026: Driving in the snow and doing rally cross stuff feels like my roots and my passion so bringing AWD to IT is very exciting for me! My initial thoughts is that I would like to build this car with my brother and another buddy to help cut the costs and allow us all to utilize it. Most likely Run Enduros together and then run in the regionals in ITR/S, ITE, SPO, or whatever classes it may fit in to get the most track time for all of us. With all that being said what would you suggest for a car to run in ITR or possibly ITS? Does anyone have any idea what the HP and weight goals would be for each of those classes?

Thanks,
Stephen

PS: so far I am most interested in the 2006 to present 3.0 Audi A4 or possibly the 2002 to present 3.0 Jaguar X-type

Rough stock HP targets for you to look at:

ITS: 160-180hp
ITR: 180-225hp

The Subaru 2.5RS is a car people love. 164 HP. Remember, no forced induction.

2.5 RS FTW!

Andy, that wing isn't IT legal! no JDM parts yo!

the Audi A4 3.0 220hp would probly fit into ITR not sure about the jag, a audi 2.8 190hp i think might get into ITS the 06 and newer audi's are 3.2s and my have to much power for ITR since it has 255

Based on what Andy said above, both the 3.0 and 2.8 would be ITR cars...

Based on what Andy said above, both the 3.0 and 2.8 would be ITR cars...

It really just depends on what weights the process comes up with for each class and whether those weights are achievable.

Does anyone have a feel for how light a fully-prepped-for-IT instance of each of these cars would be?
