People have gone to great lengths to point out that autocross is NOT racing and any problems resulting from it should be covered by warranty and now you have gone and ruined it all!

Oh yeah, way more fun be able to go all out not worry about cops or endangering others. Guess I'm just getting older haha

Like you have said, it is still fun and taking it to the strip is a great way to open it up without huge risk so I for one applaud you for it.
Thanks for understanding, yeah just went out to have fun. Not a drag build anyways. It'll be fun to just look back, after I turbo the car at the change in performance.

Plus the practice you got from launching 1st gear and chirping 2nd will come in handy on autocross.

Carlos Lagos from Motortrend got 14.9 at 1/4 mile. If you can get that, then at least you're good enough to race Carlos lol.

I knew someone would get that joke from the Fast & Furious series !

Hot temperatures, my wheels setup is heavier & probably just my driving experience not there yet. Didn't want to get RPF1s
