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

Touche. I was going off the rated HP; I would guess high 2's

the audi 2.8 makes the same hp as the 328i e36 but is a heavyer car thats why i said might get in to ITS. i current am employed at an Audi dealer and own 3 bmw 86 325e 96 328 and 98m3 2 are racecars. i think it would be challenging to get a 2.8 audi to be fast in ITS if only i had the money i would try just to try
The 2.8 Audi would not fit in S. Curb weight is not considered in classifying a car, other than if the car can't get down to its "process" weight. That would not be an issue with a car with 190 hp stock.
The E36 325 at 189 was just a tad too much and has to run a restrictor in S, something that I think/hope won't happen again.
Can the 2.8 Audi get down to approx. 2700 lbs or so?

See what I wrote -- we don't look at curb weight until we run the car through the process and see if it can make weight in it's "natural" class. Here, at 190 stock hp, it's just over the normal ITS threshold. There are no other ITS cars with 190 stock hp, 189 being the closest on the restricted E36.
You are probably right though that the car may not be able to make weight in ITR. But I don't know. The 2.8s were vintage 96/97/98, and may, like an E36, be able to get down into the 2700s. If so, I suspect any potential builder would want to run at the lower weight in R versus the higher weight in S.
