Winning is not my objective. I just want to do it for fun.

My objective is do it safely and not ruin MY BRAND NEW PASSENGER TIRES in the process.

One event won't burn the edges too bad. Keep'em pumped up good. You may have to sacrifice a little rubber though. You need an up-to-date helmet too. What state are you in?

I had a similar rear end upgrade in my S281E before it got wrecked by my Ford dealer. For autoX, the best rear end upgrade I have found is the Saleen max grip differential. -The best cornering differential you can get for roadracing that I have found. It does a fabulous job of applying power through corners, and really helps to keep the oversteer down.

Since they dont make them anymore I think ill stick with a torsen t2r. Still if your big into autox you reallt need to try a Torsen or a Truetrac.

No clutches to wear out and both has a bias of 3-1. It really helps in pushing the car around a turn. Once that inside tire starts to spin it puts 3times the power to the other wheel
