Solo anyone?

Anyone do Solo 1 or 2?

I'm thinking of going out for Solo 2 this summer and have some fun auto crossing. To me the twisties are more fun than just pure speed. (partially, cause my 106 horsies can't get me up to any great speed quick

Anyone else thought of auto-crossing?

yea, u're right on the suspension, but i still have to find where the limits of my car's suspension and traction are. and i think solo will let me know of that. also, if i get new rims/tires in the next little while, i can totally waste my 3 year old OEM's which suck for traction anyway!

actually their stock class is pretty limited. outside of like rims/tires and a CAI at most, u're not considered stock. so if u have suspension or an headers or exhaust, you'll be in a diff class. and i'm sure the hybrids fall under a diff cat too... i'll look up the website later on if i have time.

strut bars and sway bars are complete different things with difference purposes. I doubt strut bars would exceed stock class limits, but sways bars pro'ly would.
