compared to the GTI, the '85-87 CRX Si and '86-'87 Civic Si that are currently marooned in ITA look like good ITB candidates as well.

If SCCA would move the 1st gen CRX/Civic Si to ITB at about 2100 lbs (where it's weight is currently set for competition with NASA in the Honda Challenge, and is little or no problem to make with little ballast) then the power/weight would be around 23.1, which is smack dab in ITB territory.

whadda y'all thinks?
