haha....good question. but i did cut almost 4 seconds in the Z vs. the miata.

You just cant compare them, they are completely different cars and although the miata is underpowered it has the advantage in autocross....its light and small.

It was strange getting used to the camaro again.... cuz I havent taken it out in quite a while.

its fun and at least keeps some of the driving skills in check.

BTW....anyone have any used R compound in 18s? anything between a 275-315 would be fine.....looks like I wont be able to go for any new stuff just yet....
