        What about a 2nd gen 2.0 5 speed? I've been away from SCCA for about 8 years. I used to run an 88 Iroc Z Camaro 5.0 5 speed and would love to get back into it.

          Nowthat's a question I've been pondering as well. Would be a good handling sexy lil beastie...

            Pretty easy I think.

            I figure its a 2-step process. First, have the 93-97 4cyl MX6 classed. The engine and chassis are predecessors for the last generation Protege. It is slightly lighter(fewer doors, etc)with better aero, but with a less optimized F-series engine (although you could argue that the intake manifold on the earlier FSs offer better potential to the motor). So kinda even. Once thats done, its a quick segue to the Probe being the chassis/drivetrain "twin" to the MX6. (There is already a precedent for this as the V6 MX6/Probe is classed in ITS at the same weight)

            All in all, It looks like the 4-cyl will be an ITA car. Weight would be about 2350lbs, pretty much what the Proteges are floating around at.

            Send a letter to the ITAC and have it classed. Should be pretty easy since there is a well known car classed and a template(Protege>MX6>Probe) to work backwards from.

              since it appears that no one has gotten back to this, here are the 2009 SCCA classifications:
              Code:
              Car        Years     Engine     Weight   Class   Notes
              Probe      93-97   2.5L v6     2570      ITS     also 626, MX-6
              MX-3       92-98    1.8L v6     2510     ITA
              Probe      89-92    2.2L I4     2530     ITB     also MX-6
              626        93-97    2.0L I4     2550     ITB
              if anyone has the NASA classifications, that would be good.

                      depends upon the mods. check out the rulebook at scca.com.

                        Reviving the dead, but I just got an 89 probe gt-t. I use to own an svtfocus, and raced Autocross, well i was getting into it. I had eibach suspension, and a cf hood and got thrown into the STU class. Does anyone know what class the probe would be in? It's completely stock as of now, is like to get back into Autocross because I enjoyed it. Thanks.

                              I've never seen a first gen compete, but I imagine it could be fairly competitive if properly prepared for the class.

                                i'd like to upgrade tires and rims, and maybe later on throw a set of springs under it.
