Default For those who autocross... need help.

I will be going to my first event Feb 5th at Millville! As you know its up to the driver to correctly class the car. I've read through everything and still not sure.


Engine: CAI, Pullies, TB/Plenum, O/R H, Borla Stingers

Drivetrain: Spec Stage 2+ Clutch, Aluminum Driveshaft, 03 Cobra IRS, Short Throw Shifter.

Suspension: Caster Camber Plates, H&R Race Springs, Bilstein Shocks/Struts, 3pt Strut Tower Brace, Full Length Subframe Connectors.

Brakes: Cobra Calipers, 13" slotted rotors, Steel Braided Lines.

I'll be using stock tires.

***disclaimer*** I know my setup wont compare to the cars in the same class. Just want to have fun beating on the car and list my car in the right class.

Thanks for the help!

You might be ESP (E-class Street Prepared), though I'll let others chime in as I'm not completely sure.

I agree with the ESP class. That is what I run when I Autocross and I have the pretty much the same mods.

Thanks for the help. I know someone will be able to help me the day of but would rather know going into it, or at least have an idea. One less thing I'll need to worry about. Also dont know how much down time there is and all, or really anything about the events. I also posted on the south jersey scca forum and someone said "SM" class. He had asked before if I had a catless midpipe. Reading the ESP rules it says any exhaust so that must be right.

You don't want to run SM. You are going to get your *** smoked. Trust me put your car in ESP and have fun. No one is going to give a crap if your car is miss-classed unless you are beating everyone by a couple of seconds. And that is why we said ESP you car does not fit into the Stock Class and according to my interpretation of the rule book your car fits into ESP.
I wouldn't worry about if you should be in SM or ESP until you qualify for a national event

And why the hell did this thread get moved to the Classic section? Seems like if anything it would have been moved to the Racing section

Hahaha, I started reading the thread and was like "wth is this in the classic section for?"

Anyway, racing in the cold is fun, engine makes more power, tires make less traction. Makes it more about the driver in those conditions.

who the hell is the mod for 4.6? with all the BS threads that are started why would this get moved. PLEASE MOD JUST TELL ME WHY!?!?! I should just start a 3.73 or 4.10 thread!

thanks for the responses. ESP it is. Yeah I don't plan on competing to win, just trying to have fun and become a better driver. Again, I've never gone, don't know how serious it is and don't want to class my car wrong and get b*tched at.
