Default how many miles are on your s?

i'm just curious because my s has about 65k and i'm thinking of autox'ing. i alwayd had a feeling that guys who track thier cars have relatively low mileage(at the most 40k mi)
are there any diehard fans who auto-x w/ 100k mi?

I know someone who picked up an S2000 with about 180,000 miles on it with the idea of setting it up for road racing...

As long as the car is in good mechanical shape (you've done your fluid changes, etc) auto-x isnt bad for it. Most you'll normally wear out for auto-x is tires, so be sure to have decent tread on those before you get started.

65k miles for an autocross car means it's still just a baby. Just look at the results and look how many 15-20, plus year old cars are still out there.

I have a neon in STS trim that has 204k miles on it.

Just remember, autocross is more about driver than car.
