Some AutoX results

[AceInHole]

Yeah.... so our autoX results are up.

Me, Jose (Drifting Ricer), and Charlie (SR20VET) ran in STS:
Top time on our class was a WRX @ 49.343
I came in second with my '95 S14 @ 49.501
Do you have ANY idea how much it sucks to be beaten by .124 seconds (which isn't really that small of a margin, but small enough for me to scratch my head over). &nbsp;Next time... I'll get 'em. &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':pissed:'>
SR20VET (Charlie) busted a 56.326, which is a pretty good time considering he should have been running in G-Stock, not STS with me and Jose. &nbsp;The only reason he was bumped up was his removal of the power steering <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
Drifting Ricer (Jose) had a 58.310 which is at least better than not finishing, although it states that he only had 3 ff course runs where we originally thought he had 4... maybe an error in his favor?
The last 240sx running in Street Mod pulled a 47.329 on his last run.... coming in 2nd in his class. &nbsp;

We'll do better next time... we promise <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

SR20VET??? &nbsp;Am I missing something? &nbsp;I thought the SR20VET was only available in the Japanese X-Trail. &nbsp;Doesn't it put out around 260 PS? &nbsp;How could he be in G stock or STS. &nbsp;I thought motor swaps put you in MOD. &nbsp;Anyways, how many people were running in STS? &nbsp;The WRX in the hands of a SKILLED driver does pretty well at the courses here although this guy who rallies kicks the WRX's asses with his stock 2.5RS. &nbsp;Sounds like you know how to plow them cones <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;Good job.

SR20VET as in the member name <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
There were 18 people running in our class, Novice Non-Stock (we're all newbies, although I wouldn't have done too bad running in Open STS now that I look at it...). &nbsp;

So anyways, WRX's are nasty, sure, but that just makes me nastier being able to keep up with (and almost beat) 'em. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

damn, I should have paid more attention. &nbsp;I see SR20VET and I get sidetracked &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp; It sounds like such a sweet motor.

At the last 4 events here, on average the 2.5RS drivers run 1-2 seconds better than the WRX guys. &nbsp;I imagine the 2.5 RS guys have just had their cars longer. &nbsp;I hate to say it but those ITR's are fast around the cones. &nbsp;Driver skill is the great equalizer though, I've seen a 87 Ford Escort kick ass on 98% of the cars running.

Ace, does power even matter in this type of autoX or is it just all corning/handlin?

[HippoSleek]

Nice work gents! &nbsp;Around there, the 2.5's are also faster than WRX's. &nbsp;mostly b/c we have a few nationally competitive Subie drivers who are driving 3-4 year old cars that they've set up. &nbsp;The 2.5 0nWz STS (all 4 top positions) (slowest 2.5 is 2 sec. ahead of fastest WRX).

Geez - to put it in perspective I would have been 18th in STS! &nbsp;hell, I sucked in GS thanks to a heard of Neons, CRXs, and SE-Rs. &nbsp;damn little FF cars <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

I'd say it's more cornering/handling, but power does make a difference.... &nbsp;for instance i'm peaking 2nd by the end of the faster sloloms, while other cars might be able to get into 3rd. &nbsp;when you get to the top positions in any class, every tenth of a second counts <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

the SR20VET is used in the X-trail, which is a truck... so I'm hoping it's RWD or AWD??

It's a car-based mini SUV. &nbsp;AWD, mounted like a FWD car. &nbsp;Sort of like a CR-V if it had a turbo B20+VTEC.
