It's about the driver and the class; comparing raw times is almost always worthless, e.g. a built-up SM tC will run circles around an AS or BSP S2000's raw time. Run raw times through this link if you want to compare driving between classes.

Get one, if only to make it your track *****. Every single person I've ever known that's owned one has never regretted it.

Yea I'm aware of that. We AutoX religiously here. I have ran Time Attack as well.

And if power is lower on the totem pole, then the S2K would be a huge jump, considering it's about 100WHP lower than what my tC was . Regardless, I doubt I'll be getting an S2K, maintenance, insurance and lack of warranty are making me look at other cars.

Oh, so they were making fun of you. Arseholes...lol..

They FINALLY posted results for the race, which was over a month ago lol. They had computer problems so had to write down the times, so I guess that's what took them so long. Plus it only has 5 of our 8 runs, they did the first 2 runs, then the best 3 runs. I ended up coming in 3rd out of 5 in my class, missing 2nd place by only .396. Not bad for my very first time AutoXing and for being in the rain :D.

And comparing to the higher up classes, I would have beat both Evo MR's in B-Class, and I was a good 4 seconds behind most cars in U and R lol.
