Its not that easy for me to pack up and jump onto a track. There all about 100+ miles away. But I will one day and I will probably suck at it and get killed by a Miata because I have no track experience. What are you trying to prove by saying "go out there and do it" The Nismo was over 4 seconds faster around VIR then the WRX, say what you want about Mag test but that is a fact. It was also faster then the current STI.

There's a weekly autocross probably within 10 miles of you.


VIR is not a track I would use to evaluate performance. At all.

It's a fun track, but not at all indicative of how a car will do on most tracks--and it heavily favors the nismo. Stock for stock, i would pick the nismo for VIR. I'd go with the Sti for pretty much everything else that comes to mind

Boy you have an answear for everything. So an AutoX in a crappy tore up parking lot would be a good way to evaluate cars? Just wondering? Cause thats the kind of AutoX events I have near me. VIR is a track correct? Cars go around it and race the clock correct? The Z was faster then the WRX and the STI correct? Why does VIR favor the Nismo?

I'm shure he'll come up with something. I think all his discussions always become heated because he's old.
