Curb weight on a '99 NB GL is 2769#. Given Darin's ITB weight of 2450#, I don't think it's that unachievable. Golf III went from 2500#, w/o driver, in SSC to 2350# w/ driver in IT trim, a 330# change.
Kirk, I don't see how they could class the Golf IV anywhere but ITC, if the NB is going to be there. After all, it's the same chassis w/ different bodywork, similar to the Rabbit/Scirocco, or the Golf/Jetta.
