other then the new Si, RSX, RSX type s, NSX, and the s2000, what do you think is the best Honda/Acura for auto-x?

Thanks In Advance

4th gen hatchback ro CRX, either si or dx, depending on what class you want to run in. the si's are ruling sts right now and the dx should is great for running in stock class (plus they are easier to find).

 

Thanks!

Anybody else agree or have anoher suggestion?

 

Don't worry about the car, worry about the driver. Autocross is 90% driver and 5% car. I know several guys in my region who can jump in any car and just hand you your ass. Whether it be a INtegra Type R or a Ford Fiesta. Learn how to drive and you don't have to worry which car is the best for autocross.

 

So what is a car that has enough feedback to teach the driver?

an nice old 4g civic or 2g crx (even a 1g crx) is a good platform...they are cheap and good cars to thrash about as they can take abuse when learning

from what i've seen not all autoxs are the same...there are some with long straights where more powerful heavier cars actually have an advantage and there are the tight twist tracks where the lighter more nimble car will have an advantage...but as mike said the driver is the biggest factor in all forms of racing

 

A FWD car (in my opinion) will be easier and safer for a novice to start out in than a RWD. FWD if you push the car too hard it will understeer in most ideal situations. A RWD car will spin or throttle oversteer if you push it too hard.

But I agree get a cheapo 4th or 5th GEN Civic or 1986-1991 CRX and you'd be having fun in no time without any mods. You can even use your current ride which is of course the cheapest since you don't have to buy a car

 

I would use the GSR but i have other things in mind for that.

Thanks a lot for the help guys.
