I ran a full season in a a GS Si last year. It is an outstanding autocross car even though it is FWD. All you need is a rear sway, 17x8 rims with 255s all around (I preferred 255 front, 225 rear for rotation), and to learn the pedal dance. By the end of the year, the car owner converted his Si to what would be considered an STH car, and it was very fast and way more fun. If you are trying to be competitive, it is a great GS car. The biggest problem with these cars is the very short second gear ~54mph, so you'll need to get used to shifting a lot if you run larger courses.


I'll be back in my FR-S in CS next year until I have the funds for STX, but I would recommend the Si if it is an option. However, the FR-S in DS/STX will still be more fun because RWD.

More fun than not autocrossing. If the weather is nice. And you don't have to travel far. And you have a work assignment you like. :)

I just don't have much time to race due to my work hours, so i was thinking i may be better off going with a car thats more of a better daily that i can race, instead of a sports car that can be a daily lol i really like the BRZ and actually hate to sell it but really don't feel like getting a 3rd car to haul stuff etc. :(
