The Official 370Z Autocross Thread

I had a similar experience to AutoX Z a couple of weeks ago at an SCCA event. There were 7 cars in BS and I finished 2nd .9 seconds behind first. The first place finisher was an RX-8 with $7K shocks on A6's. So a good result for me considering I was on street tires. Finished 31st out of 150 in the overall PAX'd results, which was the fastest non-race rubber car. Oil temps were only a smidge over 240 on the 65 second course, although I hit 260+ routinely on longer courses.

Normally I run local events that are open class and do pretty well there. In the SCCA system it looks like the Z could well dominate the class, which means they're ultimately going to eventually bump it to AS. Even in AS I think it's a competitive car.
