Sprongl's car in this race was a 10V, 'cos he still hasn't gotten his
20V back from Germany, (or is it the UK?) I don't beleive his car
started out as a legit S2, just a Coupe Q, Mark Nelson, can you confirm
this?
Jon Kemp's car is an 84 4KQ, with a turbocharged motor. I'm not sure of
power figures, but he has enough to do four-wheel power drifts on
tarmac!

Production is a class for all "lower" performance cars, be they front
wheel, rear wheel or all wheel drive, turbo charged or not. They are
basically cars off of the production floor, with modifications limited
to safety.
Production GT is for "higher" performance cars, such as Mustang or
something, all though I'm sure there is debate on that particular
subject.

4WD is an "open" class... very few limitations, such as powerplant made
by the manufacturer of the car, etc. Pretty much "anything goes" in this
class...
