anyone autocross?
Man...let me tell you guys. I autocrossed for the first time in my SL65 yesterday...it was a blast.
I have autocrossed in my NSX before plenty of times but this was a whole another level.
The porsche club of Chicago are truly a bunch of wonderful guys and I had a great time. I ran a wonderful winding long track in 4 runs. 77 s, 72s, 68 s, 65 s...then i had to leave but it was fun. Car was heavy but it pulled it weight and felt very nimble...not all all what i expected. Going straight gets boring after a while. ..

I ran with top up and top down...and both seemed to offer benefits.
Top down and i was rear heavy...very good
Top up......and i was more rigid. ..very good
All in all...i am going to black hawk run next week for an actual track run. Any one wants to come???!!!

We ran our S55 at a SCCA NT in Patterson, CA. It was fun but not competitive.
On 10-17 & 10-18 we are bringing our SL55 to the same place for an American AX just for fun.
