So is anyone running DS in a Forester XT? Are you competitive against the WRX's, SRT-4's, Integras, abd 330Ci's?

View Full Version : Anybody running D Stock in an FXT? Tanj! 04-25-2005, 04:02 PM So is anyone running DS in a Forester XT? Are you competitive against the WRX's, SRT-4's, Integras, abd 330Ci's? Fred 04-25-2005, 04:47 PM I've done a few autox runs with our FXT, which is totally stock other than the STi rear bar (& max front camber), and it was fun - in a no grip/ lots of power way. But I'd be wary of running it stock with R tires. :eek: It has surprisingly little body roll for what it is, but with more grip comes more roll. I'll probably do some runs at some point this year with a decent STU setup, just for fun. :) For comparison purposes, the play runs with stock tires were 5 seconds slower than the fastest DS time that day (which was also one of the top indexed times). 47 sec vs. 42 sec With tires & suspension, and actually trying to be fast instead of playing around, I'd say it would've been about 4 seconds faster - but then it wouldn't be in DS. Oh, and if anybody with a FXT is competitive against the WRX, Type R, or BMW drivers in DS, those drivers need improvement. :lol: |
