Autocross today

Took second in STX...out of 3 I was beaten handily by a 2004 WRX with an impressive mod list and a very good driver. I did however beat up on a Volvo 850...non-turbo also in STX.

Not my best performance of the year, but my runs were very consistent just not as fast as I would have liked. I did beat a good friends STU Evolution MR by a a good margin and that made it all worth while. He actualy offered me a co-drive for the event but I declined as I don't need to be longing for yet another car

I'm also at a crossroads again with the SVX in terms of it's performance, or rather lack thereof, in the autocross world. Weighing in at 3478 plus driver (those that have met me probably wouldn't use the word petite when describing me) puts me well out of the capability with this platform in STX. I don't know if going back to GS to be beaten up by Mini's would help. This leaves taking it up to SM or above. Street Mod around these parts is ruled by 400+HP Evo's with more money in their carbon fiber body panels than I have in my entire car. I know I need to enhance HP-weight ratio but I'm very pleased with the NA throttle response of the EG33. I don't know if I can change this ratio enough to cut 4-6 seconds out of every run.
I may take the Legacy out and see how I like that to help me determine my next step.

Just venting to you all.

Todd
