    The cars here have to make AT LEAST 200whp. I've said it before...I have seen no dyno sheets but at the same weight as our ITR S2000 in it's debut and shake down, they were able to pull out and pass at WGI and we had 205whp at the time.

    The 'upgrade' being spoken of is probably a 2.5, 2.8 or 3.0 swap.

    The guy hangs of High Tension Power Poles in a Blizzard/Hurricane, you pick the natural disaster, So that we can quickly get back on line and update our Stuff. And he does it 18 hours on 6 off for weeks on end after the disaster, while living in a hotel room or the front seat of a line truck.

    Its taken you this long to figure out hes crazy. We have all known it for years.

    Tim have you recieved the call form OK yet? It might be a bit too far.
    All posts are made by a fat old guy with a crappy old car that isnt supported by a factory anymore and therefore should not be taken seriously, EVER

    We buy our tires at WalMart 205/50-15 NT-01 $148.00 last all season and go faster as they wear out........

    well as dan has stated yes im crazy and loving it!!!! I do most of my work with little to no sleep oh and we all like to drink so that takes time also! LOL but back to my question im just wondering what it takes to be to be at the pointy end of the ITS field? I know i did well with the corrado in 4 races qualifing 1st at the narrcoffs at lime rock but the car i am buying is expected to produce 170 plus or minus WHP. I wont know how it will produce until we get her home and put it through its paces but i know it will do well! @ raymond i do know i have the parts to make it an ITR car the parts are in the daily driver BMW. Hope to see everybody soon at the race track!!! Thanks to everybody that did the math for me i think im on the right track with the car oh and yes i was a little crazy to build the corrado but damn it was a fast car! and it sounded cool!!!!

    Tim,
    The electronics will kill you..... I broke down or had dumb issues... De-activating the abs and DSC will be a massive problem... Stand alone is the only way....... However the e46 325 ITR model can use the stock ECU a lot easier... M52tu= trouble .... I have a garage full of them... Giving a go with the 328 now.. .... If ITR is what you want STOP what you are doing and just go buy an E36 NOW! That will save you $20k.... Not kidding!
