At the end of the day, the Golf III and Golf II are the same car in terms of chassis. If the Golf III is spot on then the Golf II should be speced at 2145 (20.4lb/stock hp). That's not going to happen, whether because the Golf III is light, or folks don't want to reduce the weight of one of the more highly developed ITB cars out there (speaking on aggregate here, not about one specific car). Of course the Golf III having that exact same chassis, more torque and less lb/hp is why it has not taken long at all for them to gravitate to the front of the grid in every division that they are competing within a year or two. I welcome the compeition, but the Rabbits, Sciroccos, Golfs and Civics certainly deserve an equal opportunity within the system to get off the corner and down the straight.
three quick questions:
what is IT-07-051? i looked at scca's website and did not get any hits on the search.
what is the -50 for the rear beam? does the golf have a rear beam axle like my crx?
and the 20.4 # / stock hp is interesting. my crx is 2130 #'s and 91 hp stock which works out to 23.4 #/hp.
just trying to understand. tia, tom
