    236 stock hp would probably realistically knock it out of the running for ITR. The highest classes hp for ITR is 238, and that car does not have AWD.

    That's OK it could probably only get close to weight if it were dinged for awd anyhow.

    What do those various VW/Audi 3.2L AWD cars weigh stock?

    There's no specific cap on the horsepower in ITR guys. What would make a car too fast for the class would be if they would need to carry unreasonable amounts of ballast to make the target power-to-weight. I doubt that's the case, they probably start life pretty heavy, but that's why I'm asking.

    You forgot the S2000 @ 240. There was a car classed at 238...

    So whats the latest on this?

    I really wanted to build a BMW, but I'd love to put a quick and dirty 2.5rs together.

    Default 2.5 rs

    Woot!

    Now if I can just have a good chassis show up in my driveway, I'll start the build!


    VTS isnt' that tough to fill out and send in. Most of the info you need can be found on the web somewhere. I encourage anyone who has an interest to fill out a form - BMW, Audi, etc.....


    FWD/AWD parity in the rain... could be pretty similar. AWD vs RWD... that's a different story. Although talent should minimize the difference.
