If the factory made the best ones. Or perhaps the difference still
wouldn't be worth much or at least not 2 seconds. But again, you'd have
to ask Dave.

Why is it unfair? (BTW, many others don't believe it belongs in ESP, so
I can't claim ownership to the idea or campaign).
> Why don't you be more positive and suggest something besides "put it in BSP"?
Marcus Meredith suggested in his letter to put it in BSP. I have not
decided myself where it belongs other than to say it doesn't belong in
ESP. I have suggested the idea of creating a new class between
ASP/BSP/CSP performance levels and DSP/ESP/FSP performance
levels.

It has been suggested that by taking the rear seat out of an M3 and it
looks a lot like a Z car. The number of seats is a silly way to classify
cars (Street Mod has this problem already).

I don't know. I guess we'll have to deal with it as it occurs.

I'm not knowledgeable about those classes enough to know. All I can
tell is that in AS locally, we have Joe Goeke either in an M Coupe or
Boxster, Ron Bauer in an S2000 and Bill Buetow in a 944 S2. All three
are excellent drivers, yet I don't see any of the three walking away (the
typical 2 second victory by the ESP classed M3) with the class.

Well at least this debate isn't going nowhere. There are, and will be
letters to the SEB, and part of that information is based on what comes
from posting on Team.Net

FWIW, any 94+ Mustangs can have SFC. Or you can suffer the weight
penalty of doing a well-designed bolt-in rollcage (unless you were trying
to reduce weight because the M3s were still in ESP<s>).
