This is from last weekend:
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJipdvxgiUk"]Rally-like Autocross - YouTube[/ame]

There wasn't one Evo X, Evo 9 or Evo 8 that was able to beat this time - just a heavily modified Evo 6 RS2 did.
The BRZ isn't slower...

Idk if this is you driving, but you're a badass if this is. Clearly this is a driver who knows what he's doing.

That thing does not appear to be a stock FRS - gets up and goes way too quick.

The engine, intake, exhaust is all stock.

It just has a shorter FD (4.56) and a tune.

Thanks. Well, I did try to be as fast as possible.
I think the car is really good in corners and relatively easy to handle. For instance, I was also faster than all BMWs (M3, M135i), but they are more difficult to handle, since they have much more power on tap.

Ah that's it - it revs up quicker due to the lower FD, makes me want to get one of those

Besides the FD, it also revs up quicker because the slick tires have a smaller diameter (605 mm).
It's definitely worth it, but if I did it again I might even go to 4.88.


Just to clarify: There's an Evo X, an Evo 9 and a M135i driver who are usually always faster but on this course and on that day they weren't.

Now it has a turbo (engine is still stock) and can beat Evo's

However, some competitors have meanwhile switched to these: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review...30-2017-review
And these cars can't be caught with an ft86 (well, at least if their drivers know, what they are doing).

Thanks.
This mini-hillclimb has been taken place since 1971 already.
