[BE4VER]

--C Street findings(results)..
Tested with align, crash bolts, Catback, Filter, 18x8 w 235 40 18 RS3 (bad size tires)

NNJR #2 was my first event in the new car. I was shiting myself how much faster the car was through the sections I used to slug through in my WRX. I immediately had the feel for throttle oversteer but got bit by lift off and did a sweet 540 park job without leaving the course haha. I felt much more comfortable by the last run and dropped a few seconds.

I ended up 95th out of 145 pax which was way down from the last event of 2013 in the WRX.
I was about 40 spots higher at the end of last year with same turnout so I thought it was mainly because I had never driven RWD until just a few days before the event and after the second event I found out exactly how right I was..

The next event was a MSNE test and tune. It was a 1 hour session with about 20 cars. I got in 11 runs and the learning how to drive RWD problem was solved! I did a breakdown of 4 drivers(one of them the previous years STX national champion for reference) from event one and my time difference vs the same 4 drivers in event 2 on a course that yielded times nearly identical to the first event. The average pax gain I factored between all 4 was about 30 spots up from the first event.

All cars I compared against below ARE, or almost fully prepped for their class listed v.s my FR-S with a filter, catback, crash bolts/aligned, with the absolute worst sized tire/wheel 235/40/18 (+.784 over stock) I had off my WRX. The Hankook RS3's have great grip but the car was sluggish from the way to large diameter..

-Time I gained on 4 comparison drivers between first and second event with both events having roughly a .6 mi length and :50 second average time.

Event 1 *Entered as limited prep C Street v.s...

Driver A(Cstreet-BRZ)Pax50 = +4.116
Driver B(STX-GTI)Pax68 = +3.072
Driver C(STX-RX8*2013 nat chmp)Pax11 = +6.399
Driver D(STX-FR-S)Pax 5 = +7.120

I am very happy I was able to adjust to this car so quickly after just two events.
