I think you missed the sarcasm, except for Joel. I really do think he shops at Pepboys :kekegay:
In all honestly driving basics are the same between autox and a road course. Brake, turn-in & modulate the gas, go full throttle at the apex, etc (this varies a little between cars and drivers but you get the idea). Main difference is in autox the turns happen at a higher frequency and rely more on the car’s ablitly to transition. In a road course the higher speeds allow things like aero & brakes to play a bigger role, cornering is more focused on steady state rather than transition. I’m willing to bet if you slap a set of race tires on the base Si & Mugen Si and take them anywhere that your going to see a difference, but not 10 grand worth of difference.
Besides if these rumors hold true the next big thing in Honda’s will probably be this car. AWD with a turbo K23 pushing it sounds alot better for a car over 30k.
