And as long as they continue to use the outdated junk, I will be pointing out how bad a decision that was.

Post after post after post of useless CN drivel as it was some savior to a class
Excuse me? A savior? Sorry, but no, I've never promoted the class as anything of the sort. Maybe you should pay attention to the points being brought up instead of being dismissive.

I'll note for starters that I've never once said CN should have been adopted over LMP3. You may also note I've never said IMSA should just throw out LMP3.

that's well adopted the new format and will continue to do so based upon the orders that have yet to be fulfilled.
ALLEGED orders. We have no way of knowing that the claimed orders have occurred until they're actually filled(if they ever are).

They won't. The teams buying these cars know they'll eventually be able to sell rides, and their investments are going to be amortized over a number of seasons.
And those drivers are still going to have to pay more to cover the cost, and eventually those drivers are going to question why they have to pay so much more for something that's not any quicker than the other option.

(and let's not get into when the cars get revised after homologation expires - too many ways as to how that can turn out to try and account for it)

Once they are paid off, much like PC, each team will be able to build a business off of it.
Couple big differences between this and PC: The P3 cars aren't in the top series. The PC cars were. The PC cars are also faster vehicles - PC pole at Sebring was 3 seconds faster than P3.

If the P3 cars were as fast as PC, we wouldn't be having this discussion - I wouldn't be using CN to illustrate of what needs to be fixed in LMP3, I'd only be mentioning it when lamenting IMSA's refusal to replace the outdated Elan junkers.

Quote:
you keep saying this... but... clearly plenty of people here and abroad are fine to pay the Canadian pesos to purchase and run the cars.
For now, yes(though not in as large a number as CN cars). There's a reason all of my concerns are regarding the long term.

Whilst I may not be Nostradamus... I'm pretty confident when I say that P3 is going to be quite the success in both IMSA and the US.
Like I said, it's all faith. You have it, I don't.
