that the reason why im selling the 12v, you definetly feel how boaty it feel (despite its decent handling), its need to understeer and the fact the 12v just feels damn slow. looks fun though man, also i could help but notice you have something hanging from under the car, looked like to small wings.

You are absolutely right MrFlippant, autocross IS the most fun you can have with your car, legally or illegally! Personally, I've never come close to pushing my car near as hard as when I'm on the track. If you are curious about what mods you can do and stay in G-stock (mabye even give that cooper s a run for his money...) check out this link, its the Cincinnati scca solo page, complete with full downloadable 2008 solo II rulebook.

http://cincyscca.com/solopage.php

There is tons of helpful info, such as car class, helmet specs, ect.

oh, and PAX time is a way of comparing drivers. In other words, it's a handicap based on your class of car, so it removes your car from the equation. If you stand higher in PAX results than in raw time results, give yourself a pat on the back

Enjoy!

Yeah, driving an A4 is a huge handicap because they handle so poorly compared to other cars in their class. I still don't think it's fair to put them in the same class as CRX's and the Cooper S.[:@]

I totally agree, I come out on top in my class every time w/ the stock A4... right behind all the Coopers. It's bullshit...

My neighbor is the one who got me into autox in the first place, and he raced a stock 2002 civic. I bought the audi, and I was like "i'll spank his raw time, hell yes." That same weekend, he bought a brand new Cooper-s, so he's a good 2 seconds faster than me, it sucks. But, he's also an amazing driver, its incredible.

My raw time: 45.284 seconds = 59th out of 62
My PAX time: 36.363 seconds = 52nd out of 62

Patting self on back now
