Looks awesome.

I was going to ask what suspension you had because you seemed to be very agile and have awesome turn in. Then I saw that you had M3 sways...

I'm on the original zhp suspension with exception of the M3 front sway-bar.

Nice blips.

I love that place. I wish I can drive my own car down there for a simple day of AutoX

Looks like fun. Sorry I never stopped by guys. I didn't leave David's house (Asheville) until around 3.

It really is a blast. So much fun for $50.

Yep, I did the ///M School there. I love the elevation changes.

If they only turned the Skid Pad on....

Apparently, there is a lady that lives by the skid pad that complains if there's too much noise on the weekend.

I can't justify shelling out the coin for the ///M school...

I had fun too! Great video. Great lines. You've definitely got the bottom section figured out. I got the hang of it towards the end. Also, I love that angle of view. I haven't loaded my vids yet, but I'm betting they don't look or sounds that great!

Bump for awesome sound and downshifting throttle blips.

Thanks for the positive comments. Anyone interested in seeing more videos?

Holy that's one heck of a quick AutoX setup....LOL. Love the ticking at the end....shows you really worked the oil pump in High G! LOL

It's almost not fair to call it an Autox, lol. It sure is a bunch of fun. I'm pretty sure just about every BMW there was ticking. Time for an oil pan baffle...

Do you find you understeer because of the PS2's in the the rear holding it down compared to less grippy tires up front?

Yes! I left foot brake to help correct that. I'm picking up Joops rears to mount up front so I can run 265 square. I want to run Rivals next. I'm torn in between getting Joops rears or buying some RPF1's...

One good thing is you probably could go heavy on the brakes and throttle in corners because the back won't let go as quickly with your current setup.

Indeed. Yet there is still a fine line I have to be careful with. I can get the rear end to come out pretty easily. Especially on that slick cold concrete.

You know what they say.... If you want to have more fun in your car... put 4 donut spares on it.

Holy crap, that's more like a Time Trial event than an autocross. The last time I remember having the opportunity to shift to 3rd in an autocross was back in 2001 with the Las Vegas region, and that was with a short geared E30. Looks fun!

I much prefer these sort of events than an autox :)

Charity laps at VIR. $25 a session all going to Charity. Should be fun :)
