The M3 has nothing in common with CSP... the cars there are 1000lbs lighter
and attack courses completely differently. It just doesn't seem sporting.
In BSP, though generally faster, at least the cars are of closer weight and
horsepower... the cars attack the course similarly... I'd rather lose in BSP
than in CSP... at least I'd have some comradery with the class.

I haven't asked Bob... but Bob races the M3s in a lot more than Solo...
he drives several M3s prepped similarly but for different sports. Switching
cars may have more to do with those other venues than Solo. Most racing
teams are switching to E46. But, we are both just speculating.
