I really think if you threw it on a skidpad, it'd throw out some numbers at least in the top 5 of Richmond. I don't think thats far fetched.
I dont think thats too far fetched either. BUT, just because a car does well at autox doesnt mean it would throw down a better skid pad then some cars I have in mind. I think most know that Autox has most to do with the driver. Does that MR-S have some exotic suspension setup or is it just set up correctly and always have a great driver?

It lacks hp to compete on a track, so it's going to be hard to compare it anywhere else.
It has plenty of hp to compare to the cars I have in mind. I just think this is impossible to truly compare because the MR-S is an awesome Autox car and I have road race cars in mind. I still really like McGeorge's MR-S

Well, Tim Aro is supposedly a beast driver. I've never met him. But there's a ton of beast Miata drivers out there too with great setups running in CSP. I don't know a great deal about it's suspension setup. But the thing rolls on like 13x7, 13x8s and sits like an inch off the ground. I wouldn't call it some crazy exotic Formula car or anything. It is a really large go-kart though. Obviously the suspension is stuff that can be bought off the shelf, but its setup beautifully.

Regardless if the McGs MR-S is the best handling car or not, I still think its one of the hottest in Richmond.


Actually i think it might be a 13x8, 13x9 stagger. Lots of tire for such a light car. Probably steals some of the fun out of it. It's hard to tell, the wheel is so small it looks deceptively wide.

If someone had an Elise, that would get my vote, but I don't know of one around here.
