I may just have this one warrantied. I dunno. However, what did you set your 2 step at?

I haven't put the 2 step on yet its just sitting in my guarage, i'll probably set it around 3500 or so. Ya I don't think i'm going to willow springs with you guys because I don't have any road race tires yet, let me know how it goes and take alot of pics

However, what you mean you wont have any tires by then? Its not until dec 9 dude you have over a month to save up for them. Besides most of the cars going will have street tires on. So just go with what ya got. If not you still have plenty of time to get ready.
I want you to go so you can see my evo do laps around you
. Jk, but really there was a SS there last time with a track suspension setup with about 450wheel that was getting laped by stock evos, stock sti, even a turboed miata passed him. I did a 15minute run on the track and lapped him almost 3 times. Anywys very curious to see how yours will do. Please go man. I know its fast in a straight line . Hope to hear you are going haha.

That's actually the closest comparison in my mind for autocross to a professional motorsport -- autocross is a lot like a very short tarmac rally stage.
I did a track day in my Evo and frankly found it a bit boring, but I know lots of guys who love it.
As far as Camaro vs. Evo on the autocross course, the pony car drivers successfully lobbied for the Evo (and the STi) to be reclassed because the "rally cars" were too fast relative to the pony cars.
