Like you did with your car.. do the math at Pilli. :lol:
That DS car is also an ESP car. :mrgreen:

There is only 1 ESP car now. Those back in the day Subies don't stand a chance.

Have you looked at the ESP Nationals?? :lol:

seriously.. Pilson has his best ever shot at a Title. Ogburn needs to stay in that Camero..
McCance got dat E85 t00n! :fight: :P

See, I thought we were talking PSCC. AWD is a big help there.

But JY is right. I looked. The only ESP WRX's are 02-07. Can't believe the 08+ are ASP cars.

Still, the McCance mobile could get it done at PSCC

McCance won it last year but his car is very prone to breakage and if it don't break he wil be a contender along with Dave Ogburn and Jadrice as well as Adam George if he is on his game and Pilson, and next year all the esp subies go to ASP

I think the ASP move is good. An 02 shell with an STi drivetrain sounds like my kind of money-pit.

Cathers was 2 tenths off the Jwowwmobile it on old tires in Brian's car. I seriously think there are a LOT of cars/drivers that could run with it here. We just currently don't have that combo that regularly shows up to run our events.

Yep but that was with heavy rotors and the 3:55 gears still in my car and now lighter rotors and 3.73 gears and the new springs going on tonight I think it will be even better. Sundays run was with the lighter rotors and gears but hopefully the springs help it as much as the other two did.

I agree.. while I'm not capable of getting the Times, I KNOW my car can do it. A little alignment tweaks.. and good tires and cathers would have put some distance on the 500. Actually, just tires I bet.

Pro class here is insanely tough. Have to keep reminding myself that when I see how far back I place in it.

That car looked like an ST car at Toledo... (compared to the Fords) If they cant get it done in ESP.. why would ASP be better?

Don't know but fast track news almost came out and said it was already a done deal just to get awd on that platform against other awd in ASP

Bingo...

One event with one butt-kicking run and you guys are beat for the season. :roll: :lol:

It may or may not.

But, you're going to get a big horsepower jump out of the car by starting with an STi engine and turbo. You also get the 6 speed which won't break (and fancy STi diffs if you want, but those are open anyway)

Dropping that in an 02 shell is going to give you the lightest AWD car in the class, I believe. I would guess that 2900 lbs is acheivable.
