Actually, NO, the E36 does NOT look good on paper... Based on what is already in the class, my paper shows it about 100-150lbs too light. This is based both on speculative, as well as "real" output numbers...

AND, what we are trying to do is make it NOT "too late"... If we can get a mechanism in place to correct for errors in judgement, miscalculations, or just plain missing the mark, then these things don't have to be as final as they are today...

You are right, however, about the evolution of the classes... There comes a point where you will have no choice but to stop protecting the older technology at the expense of newer cars... However, I still believe that there are ways to integrate the two...
