Hey Guys, I have a 2002 Infiniti I35 (Nissan Maxima) I was thinking about turning into an improved touring car (slowly and doing bad until I could afford to make the changes) however because it has a powerful engine I'm afraid it will be in a higher class. I can't seem to find it in the handbook, maybe I'm overlooking it, but I was wondering if any of you knew what class it might be in. It has a LSD, ABS, Electronic Traction Control, 255 hp engine, curb weight is 3306lbs. Here is the spec sheet (2003 is the same as 2002, my 2002 has the sports package) http://www.autobuyguide.com/2003/12-aut/infiniti/i35/specifications/index.html .
If it ends up in ITR there is absolutely no way this car could even dream of competing with an RX8 or anything like that. However I don't really have the money to buy an already modified or even a blank sheet car (like I said the modification would be minimal to start with, essentially pulling out the seats, putting a harnessed seat, and adding a roll cage to make it compliant).
If it does end up being an ITR car (and not an ITS), would I be better off with saving up for the next two years and buying a modified RX8/RX7? If I could find a blank slate RX7 for under $1k I might consider investing into that. Anyways, ideas?
