Looks like you need some fatter rear tires on that beast. I know Alex has suggested this before, but he said that instead of going over hand try to shuffle steer, it is much faster.:: PNW Crew ::

Tire's....Invest in themComment

Fatter rear tires will just slow the car down.
Better throttle control will make it faster.
That course doesn't look like much fun... too many damn cones.Comment

Fatter is not always need just nice stickey ones.Comment

Tires I was running were Avon Tech-Rs. I do need something stickier, as well as to learn to modulate the throttle better. This was my second autocross in the car, and I had to sit out the last 3 runs of my first autocross in this car due to the RSMs giving up. I think I've driven 50 or fewer street miles since I got the car in March -- basically I'm still learning it :).
The plan for the Oct. 21 autocross is to run the Tech-Rs again. After that, I'll see about going to something stickier like a Kumho V710.Comment

Don't feel bad, I have the same problem.
My friends like to describe my throttle application as "binary"
I'm sure some of the times we heard the motor hit the rev limit were due to speed, also.
Anyway, looks like fun.Comment

Yes, with the S50 and 3.46LSD, parts of the course were right at the high end of 2nd. If I had a 3.23LSD, I would have been raping the rev limiter a bit less.
It was a ton of fun. The course wasn't bad at all. If I have time before I head to Brazil on Saturday, I'm going to upload a larger version of the file so that you guys can see the course better.Comment

Nah, I'm used to having to control the right foot due to driving the M5 and M Coupe...it was just more fun to mash the go pedal and deal with the aftereffects. Even with all the time I left out on the track I came away with a 4th place trophy for M Modified class, so I'm happy at the end of the day.Originally posted by etxxz View PostComment
