    Dude, you are soooo right. Ben - you are a mental case. It will be an ITS car...heavy for a 4-banger but it is what it is. And I firmly believe that what makes for a good SS car doesn't for sure make it a good IT car.

    Question Saturn Sky?

    Is the Saturn Sky also classified the same?

    Neither are classed now but I would assume so given they have the same running gear.

    Hey, I'm just askin' - doesn't mean I already have a deposit on one or anything....maybe. I only just returned to ITS for three races - I got at least one full NARRC effort for ITS left in me. My beater car did pretty well against the top flight cars.

    I think the Solstice would be an expensive car to buy and run in IT and I agree that it might not do well against much lighter cars.

    Remember, I still have my '98 Boxster to develop into an ITR car when I get tired of driving it on the street. Now that ride would do VERY well in ITS - not sure about R. I'll have to do some rules lawyering...

    PS - I wonder if I have the record for buying, building, abandoning or racing and selling the most cars in an 8 year period - short of a pro team. I'm on my third ITS RX7.

    The disease is AAD - Automotive Attention Deficit disorder - when a driver gets attracted by shiny race results, cars not developed and raced by smart people and waste of resources on cars not currently being campaiged.

    Case of beer to the sucker who can name all of the cars I raced :-)
