You mean like it's move out of CSP and into ESP...... At that time, there
was only one CSP M3. and it wasn't as fast then as it is now..... SO, it was
based on one car, one driver, and the car wasn't done yet.....
At least now, we have more than one M3 to compare to, and at least we, are
considering where they would go. I still think it has similar power
delivery, nimbleness, and size as a Datsun 240Z. The only difference is the
rear seat, but the 280Z had those too. That's a helluva lot more in common
than anything in ESP

It doesn't look like anyone considered where it was going when it was
removed from CSP..... At that time, you could say they were very
CSP-centric..... Or, rather M3-centric.

Since the M3 and the 328/325 are on different lines in the rulebook, they
can't share the important parts. That would be like being able to put the
IRS from the '99 Cobra in a '77 Mustang II, which is a LOT lighter. That's
not legal either.....

How many does one have to get creamed by before someone realizes it's the
car?
Obviously, it only takes one for the SCCA, that's how it got in ESP in the
first place...
