It's to fit in The PCA racing rules under GT2 without being a little piggy.
If it's a 2.5 liter 4v, I'm allowed to get down to 2400lbs Car and driver.
If its a 3.0 liter 4v, I've got to jump the cars weight up to 2950. Too damn heavy.
I'm curious though, anyone know where this car is now?

How lite would you be allowed to have it at GT3? and how lite could you get one of these things? Could you get it down low enough to take advantage?

sorry Sid I have a twin cross over pipe they merge in the last bend into the flange . but yours will see hot gas before mine .
I'm hoping to go with out a waste gate as well it makes the entire thing easier hopefully the VGT will control the boost .
and as e85 is more forgiving I might be able to control boost by cutting 1 or 2 injectors kind of an anti anti-lag

Secondly, are those figures for the 8v cc or lb Mike? lb I think.
So what class would you run in if you had 16v 3L and over? Is there a class for this and what weight can you run with these? What sort of cars are you running against in some of these classes?

The second set of 8v numbers are 2112lbs for GT2, and 2204lbs for GT3 (min weight).
3L 16v cars get put in a really poor situation for PCA club racing, minimum weight for GT1 is 1725lbs, and min weight for GT2 is 2939lbs, we wont even talk about how heavy you have to run to be in GT3, might as well be a 928 with a 4 cylinder at that point!
You'd be running against, unrestricted RSR's, big turbo 935's and 993's with half tube frames, stuff like that.
and maybe the occasional big liter or boosted 928:
Bruce, I'm sorry for the hijack!

Great 928 joke!
yeah, 3l 16v would have to be 3815lbs!!! - GT3. Might as well be a bus. So turning it into a 2liter makes it managable @ 2550. Land jets car is 2150. I don't think I have the money/budget to beat t
at weight, so I'm using that as my "floor" no lighter. I doubt GT3 cars will go much further than this. If they do, probably up a class.

Well if you're going for originality, TMS did a widebody with similar bodywork and a dark metallic grey paint....
Just make it your own, so what if its the same color as someone else's, just be you and it will come out in the end. Making your "mind's eye" vision into reality will always separate you from someone else...ask me how I know
Good luck and post some info on the wing...I'm a huge fan of purposeful, ungodly huge wing setups.
