LOL, this explains why I need to go to sleep at 6:30pm and started watching Murder She Wrote and Barnaby Jones reruns.

Autocrossing the Subaru (stock and new) was an experience for sure. So much so that I brought the Noble out instead on Sunday. Saturday ate up those new OEM front tires on the WRX. Just the outside shoulders, ouch.

Also, driving it was interesting. I had to really manhandle the car and flog it to be fast... as compared to the Lotus or Noble where it is more finesse (more with the Lotus than the Noble) and there is a very direct feedback to the driver. But we found out Sunday the rear tires on the Noble were toast.. so it was interesting hanging the back out everywhere. I could only autocross the car in valet mode with the boost dialed way down.

Now where is that coupon for the Depends?

(very) Slow In, Fast Out with the Suby ... Oh ... you probably know that! :lol:

Lucky you to use up those oem tires ... now you can get proper Dunlop Z1's for it, besides the BIG front bar. Hey, didn't we also have to get the big front bar for John's Elise?! ;)

I can tell ya, even fully nationally developed they still kinda drive that way and you still have to be very aggressive to make them fast.

Pretty crazy fast course to have low rear grip, haha.
