Autocross the PR5 for the first time :)
My wife came up to watch the autocrosses since it was the last one. Her car is totally stock (ok she has a window tint visor 
)
I ran her car twice and to my total amazement it performed pretty well. If I were able to throw some DOT racing tires on it I would prolly have taken 1st. I got a 45.xxx and 1st place was 42. And figure racing tires give you 3-6 seconds on a 30-40 second course
Anyway people were in total amazement considering in my class STS I got a 41.0 and the last place car got a 56.3 So I would have placed maybe 4th or 5th in STS
Wife took pictures and video too. Will try to post them.

So take that P5, get rid of 350 lbs, add some big sway bars, and give it a powerband that doesnt die at 5000 rpm, and then you have my car......sorta
