I agree that I cant race circle track. my turbo is too big for that. I handles my buisness at high rpms. but then again I never tried racing on a circle track. but I know that I can exit or enter the autobahn at 100mph on a sharp curve and it feels great, no lost, I've been wanting to make a video. I will try and get one. I be at the track is saturday if I get the parts to fix my transmission this week. and I heard this track really sucks. and I have no experience racing on a track. but we will see
i wasnt talking about a circle track, i was talking about a road course. your car would do better on a circle track than a road course.

so bascially you're saying your car is a car that can only be raced from a roll 80-165?

I have great takeoff but I have to launch at high rpm? it would lag really bad if I am driving 60mph in 4th, so to do autocross or or anyrace that has a lot of twist and turns, requiring slowing down would be hard.
but thinking about it I would probably do good, I just never did any track racing ever. so I dont know

its really hard to "autocross" a car with a lot of power because its hard to keep it planted.

but there are also many slow corners on any road course.

if you had a nice suspension setup and some fat slicks you could drag race pretty well, and run a fast time. but it takes a lot more power to run a good time because its so hard to get off the line. but a lot of fwd cars are starting to dip pretty low in 60 foots, but these are drag cars
