All Wheel Drive coming to IT

[SPiFF]

So what is the ITAC up to these days?

Polishing their random number generators prolly!

I am dying to know the weight of the ITS 2.5RS. I have always liked those cars.

Those are pretty cool. Be interesting to see some of them out and about in ITS.

Looks like I need to start searching for an R32 Golf, or get the parts to convert the bug to an RSi. Both of which should do pretty well with the VR6 and vw's all wheel drive system. Come to think of it, my neighbor's got an STS4, anybody want to build a caddy?

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.

I concur that an ITR R32 would rock. Of course if you do that you need to include the TT3.2 as well. The A4 v6 may be able to fit. They did make a handful of Passat v6 4motion stick shift cars, but I cannot imagine them getting remotely close to the weight required to be competitive. Maybe the W8 could, but 270 is above the hp level of anything else in the class. Heck the 240 of the R32 and 250 of the TT are as well, but they are probably 3400# cars stock...

it is not allowed in IT.

it is not allowed in IT.

The prohibition rule was changed in the 10/09 Fastrack (effective 1/1/10) and the first AWD car was classed in IT in the 3/10 Fastrack, the Subaru 2.5RS. You can expect more to be added.
