Default First Autocross

Will be needing new tires sooner than later... just ran my first PCA autocross at a .6 mile asphalt and concrete sprint go-kart track. What a kick but a real car track will have to be next. Sure have to be careful with trailing throttle oversteer!! (don't ask how I know, but with the windows open I do have some grass blades to vacuum out...) The car sounds incredible but it is interesting that when "racing" the suspension sure doesn't seem as stiff as when on the street. Seemed to be almost softly sprung when in the car at speed. When watching from the sidelines with my son driving, it was unbelievable how much more stable it looked than a regular 996 for example. And surprise surprise, he looped it too! Driving that car is addicting isn't it?? 5223 miles since last October- still in love

I too got a little autocross in @ a Skip Barber driving co-event w/ our CVR Region. Nice to have the torque!
