Welcome to the boards...for those of you who didn't get a chance to visit the autox, here are my impressions of the car. I am by far not a national level competitor when it comes to autox but I've been doing it for 10 plus years in conjunction with trackdays and drifting at sanctioned events. Initial turn in has a bit of understeer and corner exit has a bit of oversteer. Basically I was drifting a tight 1st-2nd gear course and the car felt very stable and controlable. Overall the car is a ton of fun albeit slow when it came to the times in the class the stock cars run in. I tried driving fast but the car just wanted to hang loose ever time. (Or maybe I just wanted to keep the back loose) It definitely will benefit from a stickier tire like the hankook rs3s or dunlop star specs. I am contemplating on what class to run as the rules are different per class and it also governs wheel size/offset as well as tire width. Just my .02
