How does it handle? I've seen Caddies running Autox before, so you should be fine! Probably be better on the strip though, I'd love to see a vid of that thing smoking around a bunch of cones!

Yeah, auto-x is about 10% car, 90% driver. A good driver can make any car quick on the auto-x course.

My official stand is that I would NEVER race or abuse my Saturn or do anything that might be deemed an action that might cause a question about warranty.

LOL, if you auto-x, usually the people at registration are cool about it. You'd be amazed at what a big auto-x buff Ron Jeramy is....Mike Hawk is also a very popular auto-xer, although he's not too popular with the announcers.

At the Utah region events, we frequently had Red Civic Si's registered that strongly resembled Lancer Ralliarts, Black Corvettes registered with bodykits that made them dead ringers for Evo's....

Removing the licsense plate or taping over it is also common practice. People do take pictures at these events, and they sometimes make it to the internet.

AFAIK, Mitsubishi is the only company that's ever been known to actually sift through racing forums looking for cars and canceling their warranties. Was quite a big deal last year, more than a few Evo owners switched to STi's, and many more people were considering Evo's and bought STi's because of that.

There's always some people you can count on Clown! Have you been to the strip with the SRT yet? Or have none of them opened around you yet?
