If the goal really is to equalize competition, I can't imagine that only one change is necessary. Before I bought my E36, I tried ITS with a 924S. It was a nightmare. That car needs help, and I think adding 150 poinds to the E36 isn't the answer.[/b]
Because the E36 was the biggest misclassification ever in ITS. This has been stated many times on this site and you have decided not to listen.

Adding 150 pounds to the car still seems like a challenge. It all has to be in the passenger's side, ahead of the seat mounting area. I'll have to reinforce it to avoid ripping the floor pan if I have an OTE. It's got to be bolted down very specifically, which makes it hard to drop the weight and get to my next class. And it's got to be in 50 pound chunks. That's four bars of lead, each bigger than a one-liter bottle of soda, bolted down in there. Safely.
No problem start putting the stock stuff back on the car.

it just doesn't make sense to me to try and equalize relatively new models with cars that are 30 years old.
Your right it would be easier to declassify the e36 but since people have invested in them I am glad this group saw fit to try to fix the problem.

Conversely, if I'm starting to win after making mods, then why wouldn't I figure that I've become equally prepared?
Nope again, Let just say this 6500 bucks for a competitive Z motor, 1200 bucks for the header and exhaust on that same car. 4500 bucks for a competitive suspension, This is just the start to run a Z car anywhere near the front. You think that it's right for you to beat these cars with a stock exhaust and a junk yard motor? You should be a able to see that you are not necessarily a getting closer to a being a front runner. What has really happend is you brought a tank to a pistol match.
