So in summary, after all of the proposed changes are in place, will a BMW driver be forced to have a 10/10th (big$$) effort to compete with a 8/10th competitor? It may not have been the intent but it will certainly be the result.
What will happen when a newly classified car is faster than the E-36?

Interesting Rob. But I think you pretty much have the reverse today (10/10ths efforts being beaten by <10/10ths BMW efforts). Bruce Shafer has admitted that his car is not a 10/10ths effort, yet, as someone else pointed out, he holds the track record at Sebring, on the short course.
Several of the BMW folks lambast the ITAC for using supposedly 'hokey' data, yet those same folks are quick to claim that the E36 325 will be an immediate dog, w/ another 200 - 300 # of lead, w/o one piece of hard data.
Another side note, and take it for what it's worth, two of the top EP cars, the 2nd gen RX7, and the 240Z, just happen to be the performance standards for ITS. When someone requested that the E36 be classified in EP, it was shot down. The reason being, that the car would be too fast for EP.
