Entitled attitude? You assume you know me, I'm not sure why. Whining? I didn't really feel like I was. How would you feel if your GT3 was giving up 6 inches of rim width,65 hp and 130 ftlbs. of torque with only like 4-500lbs. weight difference. I forgot my SD card Sunday so there was no video. I have some from my last event at Grissom if you'd like to see it. Which heat did you work out by the Chicago box?

Link to your vimeo or YouTube channel?


I know the pain, I had a AP1 and picked up a AP2 to autox instead.

The GT3 gives up many torques to Vettes. It's all part of stock class. I don't know how many moles you have on your left buttcheek, but I know I haven't seen you at Nats and I know I have seen you drive. And I know that you don't know Leeder like I do. That's enough for me to make a prelim assessment of you that you continue to reinforce with each post.

Many double steers.
Didn't round out friction circle and had to make abrupt hand shocking inputs.
Didn't connect a few elements (disjointed brake and turn in).
Car looks pushy.

I was 2nd PAX and 4th raw out of 65 at a local event Sunday. 1st was Nelson Antunes in a TSMF Civic that also beat me by a second raw. I was happy to do that well, but I also have to put it in perspective. Nelson out drove me by a bunch, and he was mid-pack in his class at the Dixie Tour.

I've driven AP1's and AP2's, including Jadrice's CR. I enjoy the AP1 more, but those 6-1/2" front wheels are a serious limitation for B-Street.

I agree with this.

Tell Nelson I said hi

I have know Nelson for 10 years, met him in 2008 when I started autocrossing, up here in CT. He has podiumed at Nats, very talented driver. Just saw you know, he was racing on street tires in the dixie tour, when everyone else was on rcomps Had he been on Hoosiers....

This is really the only point I was trying to say here but oh well. I'm wrong because I can't drive

You're a decent driver. But not a great driver. STI might wind up being a destroyer of worlds, but my point was that you just can't tell based on your drive vs Leeders.
