First Auto X

arends177

Everything went fine. It was my first auto x and learned a couple of things about the 370z and myself. The first run I was super pumped and I wanted to go really fast, so I was sideways the whole run lol. I learned to slow down a lot on this car when turning since it understeered quite a bit. Another thing I learned the hard way is to not his the gas hard on the 370z while exiting the corner! It instantly goes sideways. Once I got the hang of how the car behaves the auto x was over . There were 26 entries in the Novice class and I finished 4th. In my group I finished 2nd. 1st place was a mustang cobra that had the devil in it. That thing screamed and it was supercharged. You can see it in the pictures. 2nd place was a good friend of mine on an FR-S. I got in with him as a passenger even though it was not permitted (I guess they did not see me) and the FR-S felt a lot lighter obviously and he could go a little faster through the turns with his prius tires and 37k miles on them. He also slammed the gas when exiting corner but did not slide thanks to his 200hp lol. 3rd was a corvette and then me. Lesson of the day for me was to learn to accelerate gradually when exiting corners on the 370z. When everyone saw my car and I told them I was a novice, they all were like "oh you are going to be sliding and all over the track". Meh it was not as bad as they said. Just had to get used controlling the gas pedal. Other than that I fell in love with auto x. I'm going to do a lot more autoxs. My buddy with the FR-S is going to do some more. Hopefully I can beat him next time lol. Also I ordered and hotchkis swaybar set. I'm going to use the front bar and see how that works. I think I have to do more autoxs with the 370z just the way it is, but I could not resist on trying the bars . By the way sorry for not taking the pictures landscape, I hate that. FR-S just had a muffler delete basically stock and my car was completely stock. Oh and yes I went with the traction control off every run.
