No kidding. If they want to move that car to S then that'll open up reprocessing for a number of 190-200hp cars to move to S. I'll be requesting some myself.

Not just about HP, also about achievable weight.

But as stock curb weights and achievable race weights rise, so too will the "stock hp range" of cars in each class. So look not only at stock hp, but curb weight before submitting the request.

Yep, I'm aware.

I was considering the ITR V6 Mustang. The ITR weight is 2670 lbs with 190 stock hp. We've proven that the car cannot get down to 2670 lbs and the best I think it can do is about 2800 lbs.

If the car was placed into ITS then its weight would be:

190 x 1.25 x 12.9 = 3063 lbs.

3063 lbs certainly obtainable, but I'm not sure it'd be very happy on the 15x7 tire rule. I've no doubt the car would end up being the hp leader in ITS with a 100% build (these engines have more potential than the 3.8L single ports we use and we're doing very well for power), but I believe we're already at the limit of a 15x7 wearing a 245 and 27XX lbs.

Bad idea.
