These cars (SS, WS6, and Supra TT) are a couple of cars that 'cheat the
classifications' in my mind.  ESP has a softer factor than SS (.830 vs
.822).  This would allow you to take one, add all the SP goodies and go to
a better PAX class...if I had an SS, WS6 or Supra in stock form, I would be
running it in ESP locally.  Problem with the stock classing or the SP
classing?  I think both in some cases.

I know it's not a direct response to your (quite valid) question, but isn't
it a moot point?  Why would you prefer to run in SS rather than ESP?
