The wheel base on the 325ci is only 1 inch longer than the 318ti, 107.3in vs 106.3in, and when each of us in the car the ti will only have about a 250lb weight advantage one the ci (my son is a twig, he might weigh 140, I weigh about 215) and ill be running the ti on a bit more gas than my son will be on the ci if i know him well enough. I just don't see how thats going to be enough of an advantage to make up for the differences in the suspension and power. Also, the courses that we run are generally on the longer side. But who knows, its definitely going to be a good competition between the two of us.
