That's Rick's car, and he's preped for STU. There is a new Evo in the region, but it's white. The pro should be a BLAST!!!

he he.... my bad. Sometimes I type faster then I can think. The fingers do what they want to do. A common one for me is "teh" rather then "the". allong with the first letter of a word getting left on the end of the previous word. "howa re you doing"

No, those are fine, because they are typos, but you were saying "imput." People do it all the time, because they think it's actually a word.

Case in point, here's 381 threads where the word "imput" was used:

he he he.... well I do know the differance. it was a typo for me. M & N are right next to each other. I would never intend to use imput as a word sorry about that.

Hoosier A6 or A3S05 should be a compative one for serious autocross.

I'm stock in between the A6 and the 710.Do you guys know exacltly how much faster the a6 are compared to the 710's and is it because of more grip, faster transitional capabilties(stiffer sidewalls) etc? My other question is how well do they last in comparison to the 710 that basicly can last a season in 285/18 format? My budget only allows me to get one set for the season and another set for nats, so it would be nice if the A6 would hold up long enough.

Either use the stock swaybar and tune the suspension with a +2 rear or use a bigger rear swaybar without adding 2k in the rear.
I agree with broeli, I tried the stiffer rear bar and stiff rear spring it made the rear end fun to drive on hairpin but too tail happy on fast transition(chasing the tail and scary). I now have 2k softer rear spring mated with the siffer rear bar and it made the car verry neutral to my taste.

This was discussed a bit in the SM thread. A6 are somewhere around 1/2sec faster on a 60 sec course. However I hear you only get about 40 good runs out of them and cording happens around 60-70. V710 are slower but will last longer. If you only plan to run locally all year then go to Nats I would run V710 and A6 for Nats.
