    Yup hard to beat a yugo in a straight line race but toss it on an autocross track and watch the torque curve work.

    My first autocross event is July 30th, I'm stoked to finally get my junk on the track. :D

    I autocrossed my first time this past sunday and won first in my class. It's very easy man, and it's well worth the fun. I gaurantee you that you'll enjoy autocrossing much more than drag racing will ever provide. Ask to walk around with someone who's done it before through the course.

    The flywheel and clutch combo is awesome no clutch slip on launch at all.

    cool mine is fuel injected but you got the header, weight advantage, & welded diff on me.
    mine is lowered too and i got the E-fan too. Ive only dropped like maybe 150-200 lbs??

    SAW torsions and thicker sway bars seem to be a good start for the front end.

    when i corner the outside of my suspension travels about 1" or whatever, by the time it finishes traveling, it touches the bumpstop and it acts kinda like a super tough sway bar when i corner lol
