The 240's in ITS have a min weight of 2650. We have to use a repeatable process when we do this so who is driving them really doesn't matter. It's a data point, but not something that would carry any more weight than anything else.

I am not sure what you are getting at on the hp. 9hp on one side and 100lbs difference vs. 9lbs on the otherside with...what? 100lbs more for a 200lb difference? Not sure what you are asking for here.

All the numbers for the math are there for you (plus some more for you):

240SX: 194hp estimate / 2650 = 13.45
944: 185hp documented / 2550 = 13.78
944S: 210hp documented / 2850 = 13.57
Integra GSR: 200hp estimate / 2680 = 13.45

Would you like to factor in the fact the Porsches have 10% larger brakes than the Nissan (283mm vs. 257mm) and 8% larger than the Integra?

From my experience, most RWD cars drop about 18% through the driveline.

Like I said, it may not be the BEST car for the class, but it ain't crap either. The PROPOSED correction should make things much better.

Maybe I am off base here. I thought the 2550# for the 944 was not going to happen. 13.45 for the 240 and 13.78 for the 944 is splitting frog hairs and should but the cars on a level playing field hp/# wise.

I thought the last post had the 240 at 9 more hp than the 944 at a higher weight. and was just stating that the difference in proposed weight for the 944 could give it 9 more hp, weight to hp wise over the 240 should just as OK. You know,kind of like if we are going to give an advantage to someone lets make it ME!!
Just having fun Andy.
I dont know you or drive in IT for that matter so I have a small dog in this fight but I just may build another car someday and I like the 944 platform.

Dont pay any mind to that brake thing,can we just forget about that part? Cant hurt to ask.
