What class? 150hp, fwd, mac strut/irs, 3230 curb weight?

Like Josh, I don't know the exact number either, but I'd be surprised, even if you included all the stuff that you're allowed to remove in SS, that you'd get 400# worth of stuff out of the car. Maybe, but I don't think so. I know heated leather seats are heavy, and door glass / power window regs are heavy, but 400# is a LOT of weight.

Again - don't get too caught up in that 2665 number. There is a very real chance that these should be classed as 170hp motors. I'll keep digging on that and find out, but so far, I am told there were no hardware changes, maybe a software change, but maybe no change but updating the brochures to show the actual power.

So out of curiosity, what weight at 170hp in ITA or ITS?

[JamesB]

Chris - I found the same thing. Early 2.5 motors had much more gains from cat back and chip tuning then the new 170 motors.

I'll take the heavy ITA car on a long track, and the light ITS configuration on a short twisty track.

The rabbit appears to be a few hundred pounds lighter, but I wonder if you really could get 580# out of a car in an IT build. Is there anything that heavy in A?
