I'm going to try to take down my first divisional championship at the SCCA South Eastern Divisional championships this weekend. Who knows if I'll be able to do it, but I'm sure going to try. I decided to finally drop the cash on these bad boys to increase my chances. The wheels are Enkei PF01 18 x 9.5 with 45 offset. The tires are Hankook R-S3's in 285/35/18. Today my alignment shop slotted the Koni Sport struts to give me some extra camber, and the front is dialed in at -2.8. I'll post up the results from this weekend on Sunday night when I get home from Moultrie, GA. Wish me luck.

Auto cross huh good luck. Just wondering what have you done to the suspension? I am really interested in auto-crossing the 5.0, living in here in Germany there are so many great circuits.

I plan to compete a bit more competitively next year. My plans are to utilize my stock wheels with Hoosier A6's. I've got the V6 PP and am currently in GS with such an advantage in adjusted times, I placed 9th overall having never autocrossed, or raced for that matter, a day in my life!

These are fun little beasts. I can imagine that the V8 is one of the better cars out there for this with a modded suspension. As for Stock class, I would think the V6 PP would have a bit of the edge in adjusted times (especially with Hoosiers :bigthumbsup)

Best of luck!!!! Hope to see you in nationals one of these years ;)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the August SCCA FastTrack just moved you back to FS. Ouch!

Awesome setup, they look great. Any issues with rubbing?
No rubbing at all, and I'm running some serious negative camber. If I had the OEM swaybar endlinks, they would probably rub because the bolt in those is ridiculously long. That bolt could easily be cut shorter to prevent rubbing.

I paid $1,379 + shipping from Strano Performance Parts - Parts Catalog

Yeah, I knew that, but my region goes only by the '10 rulebook. Once a new official rule book is out, we will adopt that one :)

Also, the car completely out classes almost every car in G stock, but is a bit more on track with the rest of the F stock. Oh well, I got a feeling I will still do quite well with it being a PP with Hoosiers ;)
