e36 325 competitive?

[RedMisted]

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.

Such as???

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.

I agree! I just wanted to see what folks might be thinking...

I am curious what the Flatout guys will end up building for 2010. Did you make up your mind yet, Andy?

I have been told that there are those that have figured out the restricter and have their "S" cars almost as fast as before. Were I going "S", that is the way I would go, being a BMW guy, and all that. I think the open ECU rule has helped quite a bit. Chuck

I plan to be in ITR next year. We've got a pretty good idea what we're building - but things may change as we keep doing research. I'll say this much: there's a chance the Land of the Rising Sun will do battle with Deutschland.

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

Rob, Thanks for the bump. My car is still available and listed here in the for sale forum and I am accepting reasonable offers. Seriously considering retirement from racing, at least for a couple of years.
