I really doubt it. Hoping/praying it'll be done for slmp.

That would be pretty cool. I'd love to know how quick that one is over the acura. It's a way better car.

Me too, me too!!!

Tires will be a factor. Still running the Azenis, and they've probably had one to many heat cycles.
Any timed lap will be a victory. Under 1:02 and I'd be happy. Near 1:00 and I'd be ecstatic. Really curious to see how it does compared to the wrx. It's down on top end power for sure, but I think it is better on the lower end and it's lighter. Handles far better.
I'm going to do what it takes to get it there even if it's not 100% complete.

[preach]

It will be under 1 min is my bet. You took my acura to 1:01 first drive. That RS handles way better and will power through the corners way better as well.

It smokes wrx's until their turbo kicks in. Much torque-ier.

Tires may screw you though...find some cheap slicks for the 15s for it.

[sachilles]

Put wrx brakes on it, so no more 15's for now. Can't run slicks at slmp as it weighs too much. Best I can do is Toyo Ra1's or r888s and those aren't in the budget at the moment. We'll see what it does. Not sure what the cage will do for weight distribution and how that might affect handling.

Hey, wait a minute. Keep in mind that the RSX was sub minute at SLMP in STOCK FORM. I now have "modifications" to the RSX and now is a little faster. I know my SLMP times with the mods, but I'll keep that to myself.

I would rather drive a Honda over a Subaru for racing any day. All I can say is Honda has a far superior engine than Subaru. I did contemplate getting a Subaru as a "race" car...but just couldn't do it. I love my Hondas too much.

I three would like to know what the times are between Seth and I. Last year our times were always close at Stowe.

Preach is referring to his old first generation Acura Integra. It was a well setup car, that would have only been better if it had a LSD. Easiest fwd car I've ever driven at slmp.

But I too am anxious to see how the new subie stacks up to your RSX. I really don't know what to expect. It handles much better than my silver RS, yet power is still stock. I think it'll be a question of the the power band and gear ratios are suited for slmp.

[sachilles]

Less optimistic about making slmp as there doesn't appear to be time to work on it this week. Can't make the labor day weekend slmp either as a "friend" was foolish enough to plan a wedding the same weekend.
Grrrrrrrr.
