The best ITB car nobody is racing?

Dave,
Vaughan knows that I've got a 924 in the works. I miss you guys in IT-B.

Awe. See you in a couple of days.

Well, if you are picking a car based on availability of spares and junked versions that can be picked up at steep discounts, I'd go with this:



Gawd knows it can't be any worse than the New Beetle in ITC....

I actually considered that car Jeff - but I'm just not convinced it will make anywhere near the process HP

I'm betting that Jeff's is shiny new and low milage...but there is contention for usage.

I have a few Cozy coupes around here!

But really.. the new Beetle is THAT bad? Huge frontal area, no power, little aftermarket support, but geez.. it is a 2.0L. 2760lbs is a bit large to swallow...

Whaddya all think?

has anyone considered what might be the king of hondas based on the calculated power multiplier (this is what it must be able to achieve based on its assigned weight and assumed process)?

the 1990 era honda crx hf. it was stock with 62 hp from its 8V head. to get to the "process" weight, it must have about a 1.93 power factor and you can run those solid disc rotors for less rotating mass instead of the heavier vented discs.

its weight is 2030 #'s. doing the approximate math would yield something like this to get there:

62 hp x 1.926 power multiplier x 17 #/hp (ITB factor) + 50 (wishbone suspension) - 50 (FWD) = 2030 #'s.

that would be a real sleeper. i have one for a DD and i know i sometimes doze off during the mile i use to get up to 55 on the freeway. and since it can get 60 mpg at 60 mph, this thing should also be considered by the enduro crowd. if you put a 25 gallon cell in this thing, you would have to equip the drivers with Depends to stay out for a ful fuel run....
