Default AutoXing with turbo ITR....rocks!!!!!

Well, today it was my first Autocross event with my turbo setup but it was a wet day until 3.00 pm. The car reacts like there is no turbolag! I have wonderd myself to this situation, cause I thought it would suck with turbo. I drove with 10psi (20 are possible), cause in 2nd gear I can not get that power to the ground. At the end of the day the course gets dry and me and my friends AWD Audi S3 with 265 hp (who was always in front of me) had exact the same time 25.47 seconds. Thats awesome!!!!!! We had reached the 2nd place in our class (up to 1800cc) and I got a goblet.

That was about the 10th best time of about 50 cars. High modiefid 500hp AWD Ford Cossis, Subaru Imprezas, etc...... so it was not bad and we had lots of fun. My girlfriend made lots of pics, I`ll show it in a few days.

The guys at the event was realy impressed by my car, cause there is no tuningscene like in the US and all of them had never seen such an car befor. Except cars like those Cossis 500hp, but these are not for street.

The best time of the day was a old VW Beetle with 280hp Porsche engine with slicks! WOW he drove a 21.xx time.

Those old Beetles are nothing to mess around with when you modify them...they weigh nothing! There was/is also a huge aftermarket following for them as well.
