I might point out that you built this car KNOWING it was 3000lbs. Help me undertand what you mean by the ABS thing. I don't understand.

Let me see:
Huge brakes
1:1 5th gear
Balanced chassis
An estimated 30% increase in power
180 stock ft/lbs
10.5:1 compression (11:1 legal)
Electronically controlled cam timing...

You run on the podium with no aftermarket support after a year on track. Seems to me the results support the process.

A BMW chassis designed to run with ABS does not easily adapt to simply removing the ABS sensors.

Huge brakes? same as a E-36 with an extra 150lbs

I thought results didn't matter.

What else justifies the huge weight differential compared to other similiar cars?
