Backformore, I said Hmm.. too! I think this would be a good car with class leading brakes and as good of a chassis as any but still have some concerns in the engine department. I still think, when developed, the Miata 1.8 is going to be the car to have, at 220 less pounds and only 10 less hp stock ( but tons of development out there via the spec guys )... The e36 318 could be ( rules wise ) a few lbs less but I dont think you can actually get one down that far.... ANY BODY BUILDING A e36 318 KEEP US POSTED !
