Default B5m vs C4.2

Anyone who has driven and/or owned both know how they compare on track?

Really like the way the C4.2 drives and just wanted to know if the B5m goes as well. I've read mixed reports

Im no pro but there is a difference its hard to say what though my times were nearly the same on track

B5m seems to be slightly heavier to rear and lighter to front easier to go light at front but thats about all i can say.

Only thing i would say is im tempted to sell my c4.2 jus because of the difference it handles i thought id run them and be able to swap easily but doesnt seem the case. Being very average i need to practice with same characteristics swapping was like driving two very slightly diff cars

If thats any help

Cheers for the feedback guys - sounds good.

Is there a general consensus amongst national drivers about the car?

I've got no plans to move away from my C4.2 until the D215 arrives, the B5M is a step backwards IMO going on the one's I've driven...

That is, of course, an entirely unbiased view.....from an Hpi sponsored driver.
