The big thing is budget.
That series is getting back to what killed it off in the first place.
KIA has a large budget and so does Acura ... And when one of the series owners and rule makers.... Also fields a factory team... Is a good indication of where it's going to be expensive to out spend them.
The GTS class was originally intended to be a cost effective ... one step above SCCA T2 ...class ....but it's not that way.
Again the Boss 302 mustangs for instance are allowed a different airbox and restrictor in WC GTS config... Which is about 45 more HP.... Than they are allowed in Grand Am.
And our Z isn't something tht we can just take the restrictor out of ...
Unfortunately in GTS the way it sits... the Zs are going to have to go to ecu , dry sump, full headers, etc. which is $$$$$$ and not a little step above SCCA T2.
