History
The E30 M3 was only classified in one class and that was GT-2 class in SCCA club racing. We raced 2001 thru 2003 and finished every race we started. Even though we were not real competitive at first with the fastest cars, we finished 4th in 2001 and 2002 and 3rd in 2003 in the Southeast regional. The engine and drivetrain is extremely reliable and and the car stays close in the long straights, so it has plenty of HP.
