it was. good times.I'm guessing the last shot is at an autox event?
yea. last event was sun 11/3. Starts again in March (i believe)You still doing auto-x!? This late in the year?
no, and thats a good thing.Not much of a break.
How do the fwd cars do in auto cross? Just curious on how they hold up to the awdsno, and thats a good thing.
In other news, have a new AWD vehicle........ 2004 Nissan Murano, 20k mi
The odds of my W making it to springtime is very remote. Tired of paying on it and I want the Fiesta ST
FWD does fine but they usually compete against like cars performance-wise (cars in same class). The biggest direct competitor to a WRX is a Mini turbo (FWD)How do the fwd cars do in auto cross? Just curious on how they hold up to the awds
I would have never guessed a mini turbo. I looked up the fiesta st and holy gas mileageFWD does fine but they usually compete against like cars performance-wise (cars in same class). The biggest direct competitor to a WRX is a Mini turbo (FWD)
go watch some youtube videos on what it does when pushedI would have never guessed a mini turbo. I looked up the fiesta st and holy gas mileage
it's not about power, it's about fun (ref: Miata). Fighting the WRX around a tight course is not fun at all. I want a light handling car; I have grown tired of steering a fat hippo around tight auto-x courses. This past season, I lost 1/3 of the tight courses to a Mazda3, once on raw time (it was sad day)Do the numbers scare you from the car and driver test? Seems like you'd be taking a big loss from the wrx
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 7.0 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 17.6 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 39.0 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 7.5 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 15.2 sec @ 93 mph
Top speed (drag limited): 143 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 159 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.92 g

the murano is nice. Since I bought it at an Infiniti dealer, the Nissan extended warranty was available. I grabbed it. Now have ultra warranty to 100k mi on a 9 yr old car. HehehehehehehMy wife's mom has a Murano and she loves it.
Fiesta ST 'eh.. I'm looking at the Focus ST's actually. Hmmm..
