It's pretty awesome how they won't move the 370 to stu and keep it in str but stu and str have essentially the same exact pax. I can't recall any class that has limited tire size Lower then stock like they did the 370 in str.
and why the hell is FS pax half a second faster then BS with cars like the new mustang and camaro, m3...

Until 370's start turning up in large numbers at NATIONAL events don't expect much to change. From everything I've seen in the short time I've been autoxing, the majority rules regardless of whether their decisions make sense. Look at the cars with favorable classing (pony cars, miatas, corvettes, the twins, and old shitbox hondas) and how many of them show up to national events vs the other cars with poor classing.

You can make a "what came first, chicken or the egg" type argument but it still won't change the fact that the 370 has poor classing and that isn't going to change in the near future.

I may be at nats this year. If not the year following. I think I'll be happy in bs since my local competition is pretty fun to race with, I just wish we had more factory camber.

Default The Official 370Z Autocross Thread

First Autocross since I installed my powertrix coilovers, they felt great. Any tips for adjusting the dampening? They are 15 way adjustable, I had them at 10F and 8R from soft and it felt pretty good, I adjusted them up to 12F and 10R and didn't really feel much of a difference, but time was slower by 0.20s both runs. Now I'm still learning, so the 0.20s could very easily have been the driver, but any tips appreciated

Sure it will be, but Hoosier costs too much.

Do you guys adjust front camber on site? What effect does it do to the toe? Does it make it more toe-out or more toe-in.

The reason I ask is that I plan to run less than -3 on the street, but preferably for auto-x you want to run more than that.

You'll do fine, just take it easy your first run to learn the course and try and have an instructor ride with you.

Make sure you get there early, check everything on the car over again (torque lug nuts, check tire pressure, etc), and walk the course a bunch of times with someone who has done it before. You'll have a great time!!

Thanks guys, I'm running and working in the afternoon so I should be able to get a couple of walks of the course and maybe ride along with a friend who runs earlier(also a noob). I'll definitely take it easy, I'm there to have fun not to push it and make super times. Yet haha.

Also I have a dash cam installed so I should be able to post up vids of my run for y'all to critique and giggle at.
