Just adding my two cents to this mess...
I currently race a Fiat x1/9 in ITC. I race this car not because I believe it to be the ultimate ITC weapon(everybody knows that comes with a big chrome"H" on the nose), but because I love the car. If you choose to compete in C or any other class of racing in a 20-plus year old orphan, it has to be because you love th car, for whatever reason. It is ridiculous in my opinion to expect the comp. board to guarantee the competitiveness of any 20-30 year old race car. For the health of the group as a whole, newer cars must be classed. Unfortunately, newer also means faster. Some day, if the class lives that long, the current batch of fast Hondas will be outclassed. Evolution is an undeniable fact of life when it comes to racing. Again, just my opinion...
