But tell me. How do you rate the following cars? Ford Mustang (produced in even larger numbers than the 3 series Coupé, based on large volume production technology and platform) Nissan 350/370 Z (coupé based on a shortened Nissan Skyline / Infinity G37) Audi TT (highly developed VW Golf) The fact is that due to even higher developing costs and environmental and safety regulations, more and more sportscars will be based on and depend on series production engine and drivetrain technology or even complete series production platforms. @ Mike Humphries

Audi TT (highly developed VW Golf)

The fact is that due to even higher developing costs and environmental and safety regulations, more and more sportscars will be based on and depend on series production engine and drivetrain technology or even complete series production platforms.

BMW just wants to show off its newest model because they spent a pretty mint developping it. The Z4 is 4 years old, and starting a racing program with an outgoing model is not something a savvy manufacturer does. Here’s the simple equation.

Regardless of its performance and undoubted engineering pedigree the M3 aint a sports car. Why will it get a look in in the ALMS? Mike BMW Z4 = Sports car
BMW M3 = Touring Car

A simple equation really. Regardless of its performance and undoubted engineering pedigree the M3 aint a sports car.
Why will it get a look in in the ALMS?
