I guess the DSP bimmer proposal got shot down due to a larger restructure in SP. I seriously hope they leave ESP alone (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)

I think running against E30s and IS300s would suck bad, and I'd be bumming a ride for '07 and driving the Camaro to work!

ESP is healthy, please leave it alone! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif)

I dunno. I can see the E36 as a potential overdog car for ESP given its ability to get the 2.8 engine, but I don't see the IS300 and E30 as such.

Nats results this year have Sam in front of Alex by 7 tenths. Granted, Shipkov would've finished 2nd in ESP.

I guess looking at the results, the real questions are whether Sam has a killer setup or not (i.e. was his crushing ESP due to a killer setup or killer driving (or both)), along with how you think Shipkov is as a driver. If Sam's domination was due more to a killer setup, you can expect the other pony cars to go a little faster. If his domination was due to alien driving, then you need to figure out if Shipkov was also kicking ass and taking names.

And also... Whether or not the IS300 was outclassed by the E36 BMW in DSP. Certainly it would appear some folks must have thought so since they were never particularly popular and have now gone completely away. Back when I recall Butts running the IS300 and doing well with it in DSP, nobody was running the 328 motor in the E36 cars were they? In fact, they might not have been running the 285 tires either.

Personally, with an ESP class like I described, I'd pick a pony car first, then a new WRX (and some spare trannies), then the e30/IS300.

I.e. I'd be worrying more about the WRX than the E30/IS300 if I thought pony car dominance was going to be challenged.
