oh, and aerodynamics should take a distance second on an autocross car to weight power, and mechanical grip. if you had a formula car thats a different story though.

I agree to a certain extent on the weight issue. BUT - it is not always as much of an advantage as you'd think. At least not from my experience.

Andy has a 150# weight advantage on me and we consistently run very similar times. And he's been racing an EVO (and autocrossing in general) much longer than I.

Also - there have been several times when I ran my fastest lap with a passenger. . .

But GEEZ, I'd love to drive a 24xx pound EVO!! I will be in XP next year. . . so I'll get to see what it's like then.

Yeh I know I don't exactly have the best XP car out there, but it is all in fun. The car is more of a road racer forsure but got to have something to do on the off weekends.

I know how you feel but that makes a win all that much better when it does happen
