Hello Fellow Team.netters,
I have been lurking on the list here for awhile and reading the "M3 in ESP
complaints" for sometime now. I am not really sure if ESP is the right
place for the M3; however, I think the M3 is not any more misclassified then
many other cars.
For example, in '96-97 I ran my '67 Mustang in ESP -- while my car was not
prepared to the full extent of ESP rules, it was far more prepared than many
nearly stock '96-'97Camaro's, and AWD Talons. My car was hopelessly
outclassed by these newer cars -- 5.7 liter injected, 350 hp, 6 speed
tranmissions, huge tire capacities, modern brakes, steering, suspension,
etc. If the SEB really compared my car to newer cars (like newer Camaros,
AWD Talons, M3s) then you'd see a serious mis-classification -- one which is
a lot worse than putting the M3 in ESP. Of course, if I want to be
competitive I could sell my Mustang and buy an M3...or maybe create a class
for older cars which are no longer competitive -- oh wait, isn't that what
Prepared is for?!
Cheers,
Dominic
1968 Mustang ESP...or CP?
