But the series needs the spectacular, expansive cars to draw crowds. If anybody remembers the early & mid 90s, when Porsche Cup cars were the dominant entries in the VLN & the 24h race - And that was boring as hell.
Personally, I think GT3s are pretty boring, a GT3-class Porsche is not much more but a GT3-Cup car - Boring.
The series needs cars like the Alzen Turbo Porsche to spearhead the field. And their current way of penalising the teams who go all the way to field expensive but spectacular cars is questionable to say the least.
And it won't break the Porsche dominance either, if a GT3-Cup S is all it takes to win, then teams will be getting that one. Or does anybody believe that a long-term Porsche team will switch to an Ascari or Aston Martin just for fun?
