eh in the right hands i'm convinced any car can be driven quickly around the twisties.

that being said, i'm one of the less skilled drivers on this site, but given a decent pair of shocks and some azenis, i think mine would be pretty damn quick (with the right driver ).

EDIT: little disclaimer on this one, this is more for autox, not road courses... my car is severely underpowered in the road racing department.

im sure there are some pretty quick autocrossers in here. i want to eventually try auto cross to see how i do. just gotta get some sway bars and i'll be set. so far i have koni adjustable shocks, neuspeed race springs, front and rear strut bars, and lower tie bars, slotted rotora rotors, axis pads, ss brake lines, azenis.

I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

Actually, I keep up with the WRX's pretty well, considering my car's stock, at autocross. Go check out www.sunridersautocross.com if you wish.

Besides, I was partly kidding. I know my car, even with coilovers (I will most likely go with Tein Basics) and upgraded tires, and a rear sway still would put up not much of a fight on some sort of road course, and would not outhandle a lot of cars

But, put me on an autocross course and I think I'll put up a pretty decent fight. Besides, I'm out to learn driving skills now, when I'm younger, that I can use, regardless of what car I have.

That's more than I can say for a lot of people on these forums.
