Nothing regarding the actual racing...but the drivers had to spend money...

That summed up exactly what i was thinking Carter! The Grassroots Motorsports article on your SpecE30 series hit it on the nose as well.
I would love to get into Spec 2.5 but if I need to get coilovers, goteck, RSR, G2 brakes, LSD, vented rears, headers, glass hood/doors/trunk then maybe its not for me.
I say...
Safety goodies,
a mild suspension set up(bigger torsion bars/springs, bigger front/rear swaybars),
NO coil overs,
NO chips/gotechs/etc,
NO headers,
stock brakes with pre-approved pads,
stock engines,
stock body panels,
pre-approved performance parts from Greg Gordon (intake, hose kit, silicon connectors, etc) and Performatek (suspension bushings, springs/torsion bars)
Both Milanos and GTV6's allowed, they are more similar than the cars currently in the E30 series and we dont have the number of cars available like the E30s do!
