And yeah, the boost allowance in SP is huge. No way an STU Evo/STi beats ASP in raw time on race tires.
+1 on the CS Miata comment. No offense intended, but I think people need to get it into their heads that the Miata is no longer a dominant autocross car. No matter how fun they are to drive, there are cars out now days that are easier to drive with far more power.

Forced induction and AWD are ruining autocross... if you're behind the wheel of an underpowered Mazda.
