Matt, I'd like to see the 944/968s included in SM. If you are bothered by
the way SM handles the 944, I imagine you have to be equally bothered by the
classing of 924/944 turbos and the 968 in A/SP. My guess is the initial
classing of SM cars was at least partially guided by existing SP classing.
The inequity you describe didn't start with SM.
