I'm considering building an e36 325 2.5 liter for ITS. Any idea how competitive i can expect it to be. I've heard that the intake restrictor they make them run really slows them down. Would you be better off running it in ITR?
Thanks

E36's were extremely "competitive" in ITS, thus the restrictor. And, I suggest they're the car to beat in ITR right now, at least until/unless someone does full-up development on other options. Plus, it's all been figured out, so for you it's a plug-n-play (or, well, buy-and-install...)
But, given that the only build difference between the classes is the restrictor and a little weight, run both classes and decide for yourself...

Thank you, Jake, for providing yet another good example of why wheel width restrictions in Improved Touring are silly...
What Greg said is very true about the 325 in ITR. And it seems that just about every other car in your division (NEDiv) is a 325...

Why would you build a car when there is a couple of good and proven ITS/ITR cars out there? It's a buyer market.
There is not much data as of yet, but if I'd build a full-blown ITR car from scratch, I would consider other options as well, not just the E36 325.

Nor has anyone built, to my knowledge, a to the max, restricted ITS 325. Given how much of an overdog they were unrestricted, restricted they may do just fine.

E36 328, E46, Z4, Porsche 968. For sure there is other brands and models as well with good potential.
As I said there is not a lot of data on ITR cars, but it is worth considering all the options rather than just following the cow path of former ITS cars.

The D.Maynard and E.Tisdale ITS/ITR cars are also on the market, not for that price though, at least last time I've seen the ads
