Hang on a minute, it was only 1.4secs!!: Tom ran a 38.5 and I was a 39.9. Richard Jung got down to a 39.9 as well and Mike Simanyi was a 40.2 IIRC. The course was very transition heavy with multiple slaloms. But yes, beware Mr. Berry in that car - he's going to be very, very fast.

Were you really topping out in 3rd gear going into the finish Max? If so then that wasn't a legal SCCA solo course (as 3rd is good to over 90mph on '06 STIs).

It wasn't an SCCA event - more like a private event. And yes, I was hitting the rev limiter in 3rd at the finish, but I think that is more like 70 mph with my 245/40/17 tires.

Gotcha. However, once speeds get above 65mph, the higher powered classes start to get an unfair advantage...

It was only crossing the finish line I was at that speed. The rest of the course was half 2nd/half 3rd gear.

And yet max got beat by a car that puts about 160hp to the ground.

There was also a drag race start.

btw Tom was on an OLD set of Hoosier's that came with the car and were corded within a few runs. He will be fast.

Nice! But the '07 BS PAX index is 0.828, while the '07 STU PAX is index is 0.821.

Jason's 39.6 x 0.828 = 32.788

Max's 39.9 x 0.821 = 32.757

Looks like Max had you beat!

I know you don't want to turn this in to a how weak the STU Pax is thread. Sure would be nice if some fast guys get in the class this year and push Brandon beyond winning in an AS car on coilovers.

LOL! Wouldn't want to take the thread there!

No way! Brandon are you still on the stock ECU?!

Coilovers, ECU tuning, possibly exhaust, does not equal an AS car Jason. No arguement that his car has room for improvement, but the field is generally new and Brandon has proven that a driver is the key to winning more so than the car. Considering that STU has the highest hp cars with the most weight on street tires certainly needs a couple seasons of developement specifically on asphalt. And I'm not discounting the lower hp, lighter weight M3.

I personally would like to see you bring over your RX-8 and see if you fit in with the so-called "fast guys" instead of discounting the existing talent.

I was just jerking Max's chain, funny how it got more of a rise out of you than him. However the class getting owned two years in a row by a car with stock 7.5" wheels , AC, rubber bushings and stock seats tells me there is a lot left on the table. imho Max showed at the Pro Finale how fast STU is. I expect this year as a Natl class if you do not raise your game those that were in the trophies in 2006 will be mid-pack fodder for 2007. The M3s that were near the top had more development than any other cars in the class. I don't see those cars getting much faster. I will be surprised if one can get into the top 5 this year.

Take my two time championship winning car and dump $10k in it to go to a slower class, I don't think so. Now forced induction and Street Mod.

To keep this on track, the RX8 is also a BSP car. Forget about it, weighs 150 lbs more then the S2K and in SP trim they make less power than a stock S2K, 201hp/141tq at the wheels. The good news is 18X10 with 285s fit in the stock fenders. The stock suspension is really pretty good to begin with so there are only minor improvements to be found. I doubt you will ever see anyone make a serious run at BSP in one.

You mean STU does not have a softer pax after all? lol.

I do agree with you that the RX-8 would be a difficult BSP car and that seeing one compete in SM trim would be interesting.
