    You may have a hard time getting the SN 95 car to 2470? I worked like crazy to get an fox body ITB car to 2600!

    With the RX8 "fixed", all that needs is a drop for the S2000 and ITR is going to take off.

    Yep, I have a feeling it'd be impossible. But, the process doesn't worry too much about that and at least the car has a chance at something lower than 2850 lbs.

    I think the RX8 will now be much more of a threat at that weight of 2850 - Yep - time to get the 968 motor done over the winter. It'll be about 9/10s this spring. Right now its 8/10s at best - I think Kip has his S2 pretty close to 10/10ths.

    Jake - just had the kart redone - bigger carb, better header :-) Now to find snow tires for it....my 12 year old son is almost faster than me - he can do a mean Joey Chitwood for about 20 feet

    How about taking a 100lbs off the 300zx........the RX8 I saw at Barber Motorpsorts Park this year looked pretty quick to me.

    Tristan - you are likely more ticked about that weight reduction than I am. You pork out at 3250 or so for the 300ZX?

    Yep, 3250lbs. I am sure when my car is "proven" not to be competitive they will adjust it, like they seem to have no problem doing, with the other cars.

    Tristan,

    Your weight is based on 235ish whp in IT trim for a full build. If you think it can make that number, it's weighted correctly for ITR.

    S2000 needs to make 225ish, RX-8 = 215ish, 968 = 223ish.
