Shawn: You COULD say a lot of the same things are used in street driving.. at least I use some of them on the street.. sigh. An example a certain friend of mine that has autoxd for YEARS and won 1st place in his class at FSF.. has only placed better than 5th once so far in his SCCA club racing career.. why? becuase autox experience doesnt mean a damned thing.. sorry but in my opinion (from a very very very non hardcore autocrosser who autocrosses only because friends do.. otherwise finds it pretty boring) they are too different.. and the driving STYLE is not the same methods of braking and turning are but there are very few ways to turn a car so I in my mind that alone does not make them similiar. The only thing about the styles that are the same is that you have to be smooth and consistant and that goes for drag racing as well. I would venture to say the most autox similiar would be karting on small tracks.. lots of transitions.. but even then I wouldnt compare the two or just assume a good karter would be a good autocrosser (maybe because I have met some good karters who were not good autocrossers.. hehe)

FastForward: Can you repost pic(s) of the red Golf?

-Dave who finds autocross horribly easy to drive compared to a bouncy ass low traction lap around sebring

edit: oh yeah im pretty much done with this discussion you have my opinion no reason to post whore and post it over and over
