Yes I would agree that a FWD car should weigh less than a RWD car. Using you logic, one could also argue that the MR2 should be in ITS at 2,000 lbs or ITR at 1,700 lbs. Come on Andy, stop with the BS. I was simply trying to understand the logic behind this decision. In IT, I would rather see people / cars not to struggle (assuming it could even make weight legally) to get down to a minimum weight. Going back to what Dick said, it sure is easier to add lead to a car than spend a ton of money trying to figure out ways to get down to min. weight. I know with my car I'd much rather struggle to get upto 2,450 in ITB than down to 2,250 in ITA.

Interesting answer, although I could have skipped through some of the fluff to attain the real answer. Sounds like a big portion of the decision is based upon RWD, and the opinion that it can realistically get down to the ITA min. weight.
