I did autocross P5. I liked the fel of the car. I did not push it-I had it only for 2 weeks, so I got beaten by Chrysler K-car wagon.
I would say that moderate drop, bigger rear sway bar, more agressive alignment and good rubber will make it competitive and compensate for the lack of power.

I autocrossed last month here in Jax
Jacksonville had an auto-X last month...it was my first. 3 type R's beat me by just a hair (1.5 sec). The handling is great, but I need more power. I think when I get an adjustable suspension system w/ springs I'll be abel to slay the type-R's.

I know a few weeks ago I found a video of this "DJ Lomax" guy autocrossing his Yellow P5.. it was posted on one of the Protege boards (maybe the Yahoo group?) But at the moment it's eluding me...

The class that I was in.
I forget the name of the class but it is just above stock class, due to my CAI.
I almost beat the type-r's because like the guy said...it's all about the driving...I didn't get over 2nd gear...tight little course, but fun!
