PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
Thai, ask Strano if you should ever add distance to cones. Also I never said drive cone to cone, just said don't add distance.
I see what you are saying, the problem for me is all you guys did the turn wrong then. I can only comment on the pictures I see. Now seeing Sam and Jason I know they are usually both in the right position. Based on their pictures, all you guys are in the wrong area still with cars, they were more off the cone than you's. So none of you's did the turn right then! I assume the next cone that is not in the picture is what they were looking for and the cone in the picture is a sucker cone I assume and you should be off it if you do turn right.
Also looking ahead still plays apart in this turn, your head/eyes should be looking at exit of turn. Notice Sam and Jason head and eye position. Only one of you who was looking ahead was Chu, regardless of how he did turn. Looking ahead is the key in autox, it all starts with your eyes seeing where yo azz needs to go.

That's true. Ultimately, you're the faster driver, with more experience and have better control of the car than me. Car-wise, I ran 17psi the entire time. If I remember correctly, 17psi was around 300-315 at KHC the night we tuned. So I don't believe my car was any faster...maybe spooled quicker, but I doubt that since Pete and I both said the car isn't spoolin as quick as before the 2.3. My suspension was not dialed, as everyone who rode with Chau and I would have noticed, nor was an alignment done. I literally installed it the night before, and didn't even test drive the car around. In theory, there were many things that were wrong, and I would have expected to be pretty slow compared to everyone else.
Also, Ridgick ran 44s in a BRZ that only make 191hp...so much for fast car.

^ I have better aero? The only have is the rear wing which probably hurts more and made the car push without the front splitter.
Ohlins flags vs FA 500 coilovers
2.3L vs 2.0L
Fast spool HKS turbo vs. large FP red turbo
Star specs vs beat nt05
My car is about 150 lbs lighter
I only have a few stickers while his whole car is wrap with one big sticker.
My passenger is heavier than his passenger.
My alignment was off, you can see from my alignment specs before.
In had too much gas in the tank.
I didn't drain the washer fluids
Like is said, I ain't spending money to be competitive in autox.

Besides TeamShoeberg car, nobody on this thread has a car that is set up for autocross. So all the excuses don't count except the bad tires.
I bet if you gave Simmons or Corey anyone of your cars they would beat all your times, no matter the car set up. Ultimately driver skill wins over everything.
Street Mod National Champion had the least HP out of every car entered. He won because he has alien skillz, dude's been at this for years. He has same BMW as Cantor that is completely set up for Autox. Dude is a wizard actually....
Also to note, Shoe and I had the 2nd least powerful car in class, last year that is not now
