Oh yes,  I hadn't considered autocross. My car does poorly there,  can't 
get power to the ground in 1st and 2nd.  Did a Skip Barber course at LRP 
a while back and spent a while on their autocross course.  It was just 
silly,  it turned into more drifting than autocross for me :-)

And no,  I'm not an exceptional driver,  it's just that having 100hp 
advantage makes a huge difference.  (Big grins, too!)  Going fast in a 
slow car can be a lot of fun, no doubt.  Going fast in a fast car really 
gets me off though.
