If so, I suspect any potential builder would want to run at the lower weight in R versus the higher weight in S.
I strongly doubt they can get that anywhere near that light. We're talking about the V6 Quattro here. All of that equipment adds hundreds of pounds to the car that you can't remove in IT. They weighed something like 3250 lbs stock. You are theorizing that they could lose 600+ lbs while gaining a cage (3250-650 = 2600; 2600 + 180lb driver = 2780). To get to Andy's weight they'd have to lose 800 lbs!
I think it's likely to turn out to be a much better fit and more realistic build in ITS. But then, we haven't yet determined what sort of process to use for AWD cars so I'm not sure where Andy got his weights.
