I heard that from several folks. Then I had a frank discussion about the 944 with Jon Milledge and in his opinion a carefully prepared 10/10 944 could legally get down to 2500 lbs. That's not a typo. The 944 has a buttload of sound deadening that weighs a LOT. I cannot count how many times I've taken stuff off/out of the car I'm building and have been shocked just how heavy it is because it looked like nothing. There also is sound deadening that can only be removed by dipping the car (a considerable amount of stuff that can't be otherwise removed).
I think the 944 will at least have a attractive chance in ITS if the change proposed is approved. I don't think it will outrun a well prepped E36 (with proposed changes) or a RX-7, but it won't be passing fodder for ITA cars anymore.

Still needs to be a ITA car, having run one myself I dont think 2500 can happen, but then I am not 150 lbs myself
