I just read the February Fastrack because I was interested in seeing what weight they gave to the 1999 BMW E46 323. The reason I was interested is because I submitted the request to have it classified. I laughed when I read 3000lbs. Since the E36 325 is classified at 2850lbs, and the E46 323 has 19 less HP, with everything else pretty much being identical to the E36 (brake size, engine size, suspension design, etc.), I figured that they would put the weight at the same as the E36. The problem now is that even if I wanted to build an E46, I couldn’t because there is no way to get a race prepared E46 to 3000lbs without adding more than the allotted 100lbs of ballast.

The other item that caught my eye was the weight for the ’99 Civic Si at 2360lbs. I guess I have to switch from BMWs to Hondas…
