I think some folks are missing the point here. They want to run cars with similar levels of mods against each other. Therefore if you bring a mod'd 135, 335 or M3 it won't be competing against a stock C63. This isn't a contest to see who's mods are better since cars with similar levels of mods will be matched up for the competition.

The problem is, is there's a huge difference between newbies. I much, much larger gap than betwen skilled/experienced drivers. While I'm all for including newbies in the event, newbies aren't a good benchmark to measure any car. I've seen newbies in Civics be faster than newbies in R8s. Obviously that doesn't mean the Civic is a faster car.
You actually have it backward, a skilled driver will have the car doing more of the work, a typical newbie won't even get the car to break a sweat. The newbie may think he/she is fast, but the typically the stopwatch says otherwise.
