The 944 Turbo already starts in the "D" class. "A" being the strongest. With his car, he basically modded himself up to the "A" class.
There is a Form he can fill out to prove an argument for "MAYBE" - "B" class. The problem is with the Motor swap, It's up to the local director how far up you move just based on that. SO that is where he got Thrown to "A" Probably for the motor swap alone. Which isn't too fair if he doesn't have much else, like stock suspension, done to the car.

They run the classes with "add ons" They up class you based on how many modifications has been done to the car. The more work or modifications done, the further up you get pushed.

Well, when you do a motor swap or add forced induction to a factory naturally aspirated car you need to send in the specs to the NASA National time trial director. The car would normally be a TTD car and the National Director put me in TTA. Honestly the car should be a TTB car. TTA has modded Evo 9's, STI's, extremely modded E36 M3's, C5 Z06's, etc.
Even though I have the power, I don't have the suspension and traction that any of those other cars have. I simply can't keep up with them, I'm nowhere close.
My plan is to petition the National Director at the end of this year to move me to TTB for next year based on all of that.
Karl, I'll have the LS6 mani and throttle body off the car this week...

Dude.... buy my Red 951, complete minus the engine/trans. You will put the smack down hard on those guys.
Just put your engine and trans in and go put the hurt down....
Complete custom valved Bilstein suspension, full spherical joints, 315 wheels/tires, 996 GT3 brakes, Boxter ABS, RH headers/dual exhaust, radiator/oil coolers, trans cooler/pump, caged, full aero, bla bla bla
This is the car you can beat those guys in all day long.... on NT01's.

Yeah, but your chassis wouldn't be a TTA car. It's too light and is running too much tire. It might be a TTU or even a TTR car. In TTU I'd have to contend with modded C6 Z06's, modded GT3's and 911 turbos etc.
Plus I drive my car to the track and having A/C here in the summertime is a must have. You deleted that from your car didn't you?

I don't know what class you'd be in, but I beat every Z06 I've ever seen on a track, almost every GT3 (98%) I've ever seen on a track (and that's primarily what I race against now with pro level drivers). As far as 911 turbos go.... that's the wild card... but the GT3 is typically faster around the track.
Here are the car's weights at the last corner balance:

No a/c
No heat
Doors are guttted (side impact bars are still there) with RSR style door panels... ie., No side windows.
But it is currently registered insured and driveable on the street. All the lights work, windshield wipers work, all the factory gauges work (180mph speedo LED lighting).
