My best time of the day was my last run which was a 36.107... I think the wining time was Tom Hoppe in the T2 STi (Pictures are in the Maryland Thread) with a 31.(something)!!!!! However he ended up clipping a cone which sent his time into the 33's and sent him out of first place... ....

I'll have pics up in my locker ASAP!!! PM me for video clips of the SVX running the course
Chris, are you fastest by default? I didn't see any others listed on the NASIOC thread. Small and tight definately doesn't benefit STIs or WRXs too much but the RSs it will. You're low end torque on a tight course and better handling than the Imprezas should outweigh your lack of smallness a bit. You were running street tires to boot or did you get yourself some Rs?

STi's definitly will win (with an average driver) anyday over an SVX on a small tight course.... Why?? 1. Power 2. Steering rack ratio 3. Brakes 4. Gearing (Transmission and differentials)...

I was the only SVX there, so if ya mean "fastest by default" then yes Actually I think overall I ended up being about mid pack as far as time... I don't understand the whole PAX stuff, but I know that SM usually gets screwed in PAX....

Chris,
Nice job! We'll have to bring the whole gang down from the Ripken Field Subaru Challenge next year for a show of SVX Force (assuming the price of gas comes down ).
-Bill (wishing he'd had the time to drive down and take ESP... )
p.s. Chris - you should get yourself some R comp tires (used would even work) just to see the difference they make!

Yea, been thinking about this.... Need to get some 17" wheels so I can get the tires on them.... Thinking about trying to find some RX-7 Wheels... Anyone have a set that they would give up??

Fixed your post. I've beaten quite a few average drivers with STis with COUGH, a freaking XT6 on tight courses. It isn't suited to smaller courses in the least. I know we'd outbrake 'em, out steer 'em in ours.

Eh....... I actually like the way that they drive. Put me in a "Stock" STi with a JIC suspension and I'll walk on the majority of the pack without even sweating... I guess I just like the way that they drive and feel

Put me in an STi and I'll beat you

Funny a Stock STI (YES THIS IS THE NEW WAY YOU ARE TO SPELL IT AS SUBIE CHANGED) with a JIC. Not very stock there buddy and woo lookie, you're attempting to fix the tractor handling!!!

You wouldn't beat a single Civic in STS on a tight course let alone 1/2 the pack. The car just can't handle worth a darn. It isn't like any other Subaru is better, they just handle like crap!

You'd still loose even in an STI and the funny part is you'd have at least $29,400 more into it to still loose.

Chris,
Two things
1. You'll want to look for 3rd Gen RX-7 rims and they're 16", not 17"
2. I'm with Ben on the autoX discussion. Check the Ripken results - an SVX with only a mild amount of work can beat a stock STI...our cars aren't all that much heavier than the STI and can come down to their weight without a tremendous amount of effort (I'll be running ESP next season at about 3300 lbs).
-Bill
