I applaud the publication of the new operations manual.

I have doubts about the parameters used....

For example, if you own an ITC car, you'll need to put both yourself and the car on crash diets.

Using a uniform gain of 30% in IT trim and relying on published HP numbers, I get this...

CRX: 76HP Process - 1860 Current - 1955 Drops 95lbs
X1/9: 75HP Process - 1885 (mid-engine) Current - 2090 Drops.. 205 lbs (!)
75 Rabbit: 70HP Process - 1715 Current 2000 drops 285lbs(!)
Colt: 81HP Process - 1985 Current 2270 drops 285lbs
New Beetle: 115HP Process - 2815 Current 2760 gains 55lbs and 40% heavier than the cars listed here.

Most of the ITB guys will need to go on crash diets too...
CRX Si: Current 2130, process 1970 loss: 160lbs
2002: Current 2280, process 2165 loss: 115lbs
Accord LX: 2550, process 2380 loss 170lbs
Mini: 2500, process 2490 loss 10lbs, that's close enough for gubberment work.
Rabbit GTI: 2080, process 1950, loss 130 lbs
Jetta III: 2350, process 2490, GAIN 140 lbs.

Interesting times, interesting times.
