STU Turbo Car Weights?
Front wheel drive cars may reduce their minimum weight by 5%.
Front wheel drive cars with a strut type front suspension may
reduce their minimum weight by an additional 2.5%.
So does that mean that, if one is racing an FWD car w/struts, they take the restrictor table weight and subtract 5%, then subtract 2.5% of the resulting weight...
OR
...take the table weight and subtract 3%...??

All deductions are reductions from the base weight. So you add the deductors first (5% + 2.5% = 7.5%) then you deduct that from the base.
So, for example, if your FWD VW GTI is running a 37mm TIR, the base weight is 2985. You're FWD so you get 5%, and you have struts so you get another 2.5%, for a total of 7.5%. 2985 minus 7.5% = 2762#.
But, if you want to argumentate with me, I'll say you take the smallest deductor first, then the largest, so you'll need to weigh 2766#
(Note that when you take them in sum, e.g., 7.5% instead of 5% then 2.5%, you get more...)
GA, offerin' his unsubstantiated Internet opinion yet again...

Varies depending on the TIR size...see GCR. - GA

So with a 37mm TIR weight would have to be more than 2985? It is a FWD so can reduce weight by 5%
Sound right?
