700?? Does a box get that light when stripped? Its rated 250hp stock vs an E36 @ 240 and those dyno 200-210 rear wheel. Can knock it down a little w/ tuning/restrictor too.

Congrats Toby.
Surviving your first weekend is an accomplishment. Not finishing DFL is spectacular!!!

14.5 p/w ratio. That's the max. I am sure Wongers car will need serious ballast.

Toby:
Nice job. Looking forward to mixing it up with you at SP. Welcome to the club!

I think Scott is right, it would be a GTS3 car. The 2.5 Boxsters are pulling 180-190 at the wheels after pulling the stock exhausts off and would slot into GTS2 nicely with the SCs and Carreras.
