[QUOTE="Primaris, post: 5431418, member: 9053"] Thanks for the complement. I have a K&N drop in, magnacore plug wires, Koni yellow struts up front, GAZ adjustable rear shocks, a MBRP exhaust, no fog lights, and light weight TeamDynamics wheels. (these are the only changes allowed in the class I autocross in) I am running 235/40-17's Kumho SPT's on the street. Everything else is as from the factory. Well you should always try to not be stupid :poke: hehe I wasn't trying to make any grand statements other than it's not worth wrecking the car. But, you are correct as you should always strive to know more about the car. Have fun, but just try to keep in mind on the street anything can happen at any given moment; deer, kids, gravel, oil, old folk, new construction, etc. Anyway, have fun. If you really want to try and become a better driver and know what the SVTF can do, get yourself out to some autocrosses. If you like them go to an autocross school. I feel trying to be an expert at autocrossing is like trying to be a pro golfer. With autocross as in golf you are trying for extreme precision, like trying to be with in 3 inches of the apex cone at 60 mph with less then five tenths of a second to get setup for the next turn. But autocross differs from golf in two major ways, one the action is non stop from the time your told to go until you cross the finish line. Two, most people don't think they are Tiger Woods, but we all think we are the best driver in the world. So the vast majority of people who try to autocross, get spanked and never show up again. I love driving road courses, but I think autocross is a better format for learning how to drive a car at its limits. Road racers have a bag of tricks they can use to stay in the lead, blocking, earlier apex, late braking, etc. But, with autocross the only goal is perfection, anything else is slower.
