Actually, it was not going to be the autocross car... But it might have been fun to try... can you imagine John Riggs announcing... "TTOD for fendered cars goes to the WRX...."  |
I honestly don't think Gary's car would have been any faster than your STX car in AutoX Dean. It's not like his car has gobs of power or more traction than your car... in fact, if it's still in USTCC trim it weighs about 300lbs more than your car, and makes less power. Plus the PAX for that thing would own you. |
Well, after he takes out alll of Gary's Victory Weight, it would weigh what, 2400 pounds? |
Good question... sure a lot of the interior's been removed, but an extensive cage has been installed... I'd guess it's not much lighter than the stock 3100, if not more. Plus, that car's still got only a stock turbo so the engine can't really make more than about 300hp (assuming the intake restrictor's been removed, othewise significantly less). That's about what Dean's making as it is... give ore take 20hp, which isn't going to make a huge difference in AutoX which is far more about handling than power.
I still think that Gary's car vs. Dean's car, in AutoX, would be a wash... but that DM PAX factor is a killer.
Now, put Gary's car on a track, and watch Dean's car get eaten up in a hurry.
