Are you referring to the 928's or 944's?

I would certainly take very little advice from "them" (the 911 guys), but "them" sure know how to tear up an autocross course.

IMHO, good road racers make terrible Auto Crosser's but good Auto Crosser's generally make very good road racers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've tried it a few times, they used a sun dial to time me, got lost on the course more than once.......

One of the quickest I've seen was a really tall skinny 16 year old kid in his mom's Honda Civic WAGON!!!!!!!!! he tore up the place, smooth as silk and very quick........

Smooth is fast, that's for sure.........

My advise, go back to Jamo's check list and re-read (many times) it and do #'s 3-4-5-6-7..........asspecialy # 4 and # 5..........wish I had had that list when I tried it!!!!!!!!!!!

I was talking about Porsches...not those other things.

Never seen a 928 out there in all that time. Not saying it couldn't happen...just never seen one. 924s and 944s are not really that good in their stock classes.

911s are only good against other 911s. That's why they have their own events.
