Sliding down the Pyramid of Speed...maybe...kind'a

Time, money, motivation...loss of mojo?! I am seriously thinking of becoming a man and leaving my boyish fantasies behind. I am considering turning my car back into an autocross, trackday, solo1/hillclimb car and having some fun again. My oldest son is 13 in a couple of weeks and doesn't want me to get rid of the R. He wants to work on the car, and I already have it. I kind of miss just going for drives in it, and I sort of wonder if I can still wheel around an Auto-x course. What to do? How will the R do in DSP this year?

I think an R will be quick in DSP, especially if there's ever a tire for it that's wider than 225.

Is there a dominant car in DSP for comparison sake?

the Butts' IS300!

2900lbs + 285/35/18 h00siers = teh quick!

E36 bimmers are equally as fast.

ITR's can be a bunch lighter than Bimmer's and Lexi, and with not much less hp. Still hindered by the lack of torque....
