The ones that win of course! Try Off topic forum, you might get a better response. This Forum is for other stuff.

Yes, GT2, last I checked, BMW did not make a GT1 race car

hmmmmmmm... Maybe a lightweight M3 to race H prepared, a turbocharged M3 for C modified, and a full carbonfiber bodied, supercharged, digitec MCoupe also for C modified. hehehe

Honestly though I wouldnt mind to be in either Tom's shoes or in James' shoes. They definately have a winning setup.

Oh we're talking racing on a club level, not pro? In that case I already got the racecar I want on my race team

Also which "m3 gt2" are you referring to? The Scca Class?

PTG ran a GTS-2 car for a year in 97 I believe. Hard to compare it to today's rules, but essentially it raced against turbocharged Porsche's, whereas in GTS-3 the Porsche's were NA. In comparison to the GTS-3 M3, it allowed for a lighter car (100-200 lbs) and no restrictor, no rev-limit, and a 6th gear.

Obvious...

E46 M3 GTR

Yea, but there was no real campaigning of a Gt2 as in the Porsche Gt2, know what I mean? I was just a classification, not a model. Just a less restricted "gtr"

Very sick car

E36's just looked mean then

TomM · #13 (**permalink**) 12-27-2003, 04:47 PM

There has never been a M3 GT3 either

Ximian has the right idea.

LITEWAITM3 · #14 (**permalink**) 12-27-2003, 06:33 PM

Right its just a classification for the level of restriction on the build.

I would like an old school 3.0 csl and an M1

*rifles through car magazines*

There was a limited production GT3 street car *I swear* because of the requirement to produce 500 of the car for the street. Might've just been a CSL or LTW or something, but it's in a magazine of mine somewhere. It was listed as an M3 GT3.

Oh well.
