Please correct me if I am wrong and add anything I miss.
Min weight
ITR. 2850
STU. 2300
In STU you can run carbon hood and trunk and lexan
In STU you can run light flywheel
That's all I am seeing

- Open shocks
- Wheel size..?
- Brakes
- Tire size
- Seam welding
- Unlimited cage
- Rear wings and front splitters
- Plastic hood/trunk
- Plastic "glass"
- Door beam removal
- Battery unrestricted, inc location
- Ignition unrestricted
- Injectors
- Engine management (inc sensors) pretty much unrestricted
- Transmissions/gear ratios
- Anything else...?
Prob won't make much of a difference...
Where ya goin' with this thread?
- GA
Not sure what to do, I want to build an itr rx8, but the thought of not being able to do nationals has me wondering what my options are.
STU seems like a potential class but I am not really understanding what makes the cars so fast. Your reply helped.
I thought we could do engine management, and open shocks in ITR

no chance in STU. these cars have been run by pros in all sorts of series... compare the lap times of them and then decide. if you can get them to add a turbo to the car then maybe STU is an option. I can get prices on a complete carbon fiber body if you're interested,

Convert your Miata to ITS/STL much better car for the classes!

Go out in your back yard and dig a hole to put money in, same as investing in an STU RX8. You will never get close to power needed as classed and will need to run radio controlled to make min weight. It had a chance in STL but does not need to be in the class for reasons discussed other places. Love the car but it is screwed for ST whatever.

Buy the ITR S2000 for sale in the classified, it's a great deal! can run in STU as well!

How about the 968 with a 2.5 turbo in it making 400 hp?

Holy crap that got me chuckling! I did join the RCADD program -ITR! Love the class and the whole Pro IT program has been outstanding with a level of competition that beats nationals in my provincial eyes.
I can't see making my car a full STU ride - if I was going for that class I'd locate a full on pro built car and dumb it down for the class. New platforms will be the winners in STU me figures.
Turbo Audi or BMW would be my picks cause I like those cars.
Can you believe I'm going into the fifth season with the 968?!?
(and sacrilege! I just got a BMW E90 for the street and cannot believe how awesome it is!)
