well from a power standpoint, likely not as he's not killing it in topspeed

i meant from a grip/suspension standpoint - idk that ap2's stock handle like that, maybe they do. i compared my lap and his, way higher entry speeds that make up for losses in power/straights - i've tried entering higher and the evo just pushes through and delays getting on power. i will set up the car looser for higher entry speed but can't go much looser with my current setup. autobahn south is also a pretty technical track, and it seems like especially here, differences in power aren't as big of a deal as good balance/cornering grip & ability

loll i think there's several other things i'd like to do before that. just comparing entry speeds to that "stock" s2k, there's a vast difference. and that car is way more neutral than evo for turn in applications, but can still hold it and accelerate out.

soften front shocks and put my acd on the looser setting (stayed in the least aggressive mode). i also just redid the alignment, idk if i wanna pay to re-redo it. it can be part of the tweaks for next year

Charles was fastest street AWD IIRC and he was running 1:38s on south. Austin took south record with a 1:34 in his 370Z. They don't run classes based off drivetrain anymore so everyone in a class is battling one another.

noticed something from the videos i ran - i'm doing way too much late apexing, and need to take a few more natural lines. i think i can actually hit a 1:38 in good conditions (tomorrow perhaps). my 1:41 has a LOT of things I need to correct, and I hope to work on them tomorrow.

i def can't hit a 1:34, awd needs 265s IMO...
