Drove it in the Performance Driving class at Sears Point. Set the fastest time in the autocross (29 sec). Had a blast on the track!

What kind of tires do you use for autocross? With that kind of claim pics are needed!

How long was that course? We do a mile course, everyone's happy below 80 sec.

Hey thanks for the kind words.
I did a few changes to it recently I'll post pictures up soon.
New hardtop/ LED smoked tails and clear headlights.
Fresh respray of the front bumper due to all the rock chips.

After three hours of drilling out the exhaust studs in the cat pipes my new Top Speed Headers are in. They are helping with the low rpm sluggish performance that boxsters have.
