Classing a GTS car

Recommended Posts

Been reading the classing system and using the calculator. I'm having trouble figuring this out (as easy as it seems). 

I'm stuck with a particular car (S52 Z3M). 

I haven't dyno'd the car yet, but it looks like stock S52 motors come in around 200-205whp and about 210-220 tq. 

Using the online calculator, GTS1 showed about 3,400 lbs. GTS2 showed about 2,600lbs. and GTS3 1,900 or so. Looks like it would "naturally class" in GTS2. Pretty sure I can't get down to 1,900 within normal people budgets.

Can I even run a S52 car in GTS1? It looked like I could until I keep reading about CC restrictions, but don't really see that called out anywhere. I know it would be porky.

Not trolling at all. If a national champion offered to help me, I'd call that opportunity.

I would be in the great lakes region.  Hoping to send the car off for cage install and get the rear diff/trunk floor fixed soon........as soon as I can leave my house.
