Jeremy, good to meet you at Daytona this weekend.
I feel pretty strongly that an S14 can win even in a strong ITS field. As David points out, Chris Newberry built a killer one that ran up front in ITS for several years here in teh SEDiv. It had trouble with the unrestricted E36s but we all did.
Two anecdotal stories:
1. THE best ITS race I have ever seen was Chris (S14), Kent Thompson (2nd Gen RX7) and Steve Stubbs (pre SIR E36) at CMP. THey were nose to tail the entire race. Kent and Steve spun in turn 1 after the checkers....Chris was 3rd, but set fastest lap. VERY impressive.
2. Chris won his last race in that car at Charlotte -- a power track -- against a very good ITS field.
If you really like the car, it can be a winner but obviously not as easy to develop as an RX7 or an E36 or a 240/260/280z.
