That said, I like both, but I prefer drag racing.

That said, I like both, but auto-x speeds are far too slow. I dont see much challenge or excitement in driving around at 30mph. Only road racing truly extracts the most out of the driver and car. So, my order of preference goes 1. Drag racing 2. Road Racing 3. Auto-x If I could rally cross affordably, it would be #1

Forgot to mention, AutoX is more comparable to real world driving, I dont drive in a straight line all the time.

John....you are absolutely right. Driving a high HP car is a different beast all together. Very difficult to shift/drive a car like that. Things happen very quickly :o and its very intense hitting 130+ in a very short distance.
Not saying Drag is better at all...as I plan to auto X my car soon, and am willing to bet I will absolutely love it. My car is not set up for drag at all really. I just need to reinstall my front swaybar and get some good tires. The rest is stock SS suspension.
Obviously a question like this can only be answered by each individual and the answer will be different from person to person.

my response is in the original thread in the Ford forum.
Auto-X all the way
