It's official,
As of January 1, the Bimmers are _out_ of DSP next year. All E36 cars are moved onto one line in BSP (including the M3 and LTW), all E46 cars are moved to BSP (minus the M3), and all E30 cars are moved into CSP (sperate from the M3). The door is open for the small cars again! This is a chance for the 914! Who's running DSP next year? I am. At least if I can find the time to get the car running again... Oh yeah, and the JCW MINI was moved to DSP... -Josh2 |

I don't think the MINI is gonna as much of a threat as you make it sound like. The MINI has a pretty peppy power plant, to be sure. But it's burdened with one main thing that it can't get rid of, it's weight. The MINI is NOT light. North of 2600 lbs for a Cooper S. A little bit lighter than the E36 Bimmers, but not much. Couple that with a little less peak power, a lot less torque, and FWD, and I highly doubt that the car will dominate the class.
Come on Joe!!! Let's get 914s on the podium in 2007!!! -Josh2 |

The RedNeck Racer is really a very well prepped DSP car. The kicker is the power plant and the rules. Might as well get out and push it. |
