The BS is loosing time from lack of rear grip.

Well tell MB that otherwise they wouldn't have put R compound tires and made the springs so stiff you can't drive it on the street.
I am pretty disappointed, for the $100K you can get the Viper ACR-X that holds major track records or the GTR that is still faster and completely street-able.

That doesn’t make it a race car, far from it. At best it’s a reasonably quick street performance sedan/coupe.
Where did you get the info on the suspension and how did you ascertain it’s too stiff to drive on the street?
Is it just your own personal opinion?
I haven’t driven a BS but I have always found the stock suspension on the Non-BS C63’s to be too soft to be considered a serious track weapon. In fact I find them too soft to be a serious street warrior and way too nose heavy. Just my opinion.
If that’s the case, don’t buy one as it’s not the car for you. This car was not designed to compete with the types you have mentioned. Better you spend your money on one of those and not be disappointed.
