Car: Porsche 944 LFS Status:  Rep Power: 32  | Little light cars are the best for autocross. I was autocrossing 4 times this year (also a noob), and it looks like you definitely don't need HP-monster to win. There were mainly Porsche cars, and winner was driving old ford fiesta (build for auto-x). It outrun GT3 by 1 or 2 sec. Heavy Aston V8 didn't look all that good at all. I was actually faster with my much lighter and much less powerfull 944. |
