the car will be nicer but it's transmission is a weak link that would annoy the hell out of me.

:edit:
also switching to RWD is a whole new ballgame. be ready to learn a whole new advanced driving skill set to be able to control it in an ugly situation.

im also considering rwd, my debate now is turbo the prelude to make roughly 230whp, and set up the suspension nicely for autocross with high spring rates, while maintaining driveability...
OR get a toyota mr2 spyder with natural perfect balance and go from there...
ill shut up now before i steal the thread..

Default turboing

You can get as much as high 400 on a vwry well tuned h22 and the right components. And that is a stock block!!!350z and Preludes- there is no comparison two totally different animals!

unless there are alot of straights in your auto-x courses (which i doubt there is) a turbo wouldn't help

in fact it'd put you in a class way out of your league, and it will cost you wins.


if you want to solo-II then just start off with the stock car. in autocross it's about the driving, not so much the car.
