Never done Auto-x, but in the curves I usually leave it in 2nd. Powerband is just right at 60-100. |

You have to remember that this is a heavy car although it handles okay for a large GM car. Top speed is not the object of the course but you need to keep the car in balance and sweep it through the curves. Brake slightly early because this car will under steer like crazy if you are on the brakes hard and trying to turn. It just does not work lol. My trans survived the auto x but it was not to happy about going 14 times lol. |
It'll only be a total of 6 times for mine. :) I don't plan on seeing over 45, and thanks for the tip. :D |
Nothing's wrong with it, just never been to an event. |

^ True. I just meant hanging around 4-5K for about a minute, lol. Was kinda joking. I'm on my second and a half, my first was 'rebuilt' and still slipping. :-/ |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcA_7ySowyc First two runs, slowest, getting a feel for it... None of GXP-Miller, unfortunately. EDIT: Got one, starts at 10:08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMKCCrC4vgg |
