A4 and GSR not in same SCCA class for autocross? (more)
They are both in stock...G Stock. Or were you just referring to the Street Prepared, Prepared, Modified, and Pro classes?<p>Regards,<br>Rodney<p>'99 A4 1.8tqms<p>PS Quattro is a MUST, it includes a better rear suspension in addition to its other benefits.

Yes, I should have mentioned... The cars people were mentioning here are all prepped, chips, springs etc. which disqualifies them from G stock.<br>The Integra GS-R is in class GS, otherwise.<p>Our local sports car chapter mixes classes for the weekend events as there are not enough members to separate. <p>I love the Quattro, and myself am still learning how to drive this car differently than my Teg. With the 'teg I would heal-toe brake into a turn, downshift and accelerate out, modulating the gas to keep me lined up. I must attend a drivers class for 4wds to start exploring the limits of my new car.<p>Later

I'm still getting used to it too. I usually don't get back on the gas early enough, it's amazing how early and hard you can get back on the gas in a corner with Quattro. I'm also working on my heal-toe shifting, but the pedals don't seem too conducive to this. Fortunately, there's so much torque down low that you can get away with being in a higher gear.<p>Regards,<br>Rodney<p>'99 A4 1.8tqms

Re: AutoX
I beat the new prelude and GS-Rs, the Type R is VERY rare and I doubt I will ever run into one...some of the guys put Type R badges on their GS-Rs. Much like the Maxima, I think the engine is high quality but they have weak wheel/tire/suspension set-ups. Besides having amazing suspension(sport) , Quattro adds alot to the performance, wet or dry! I have standing bets with two of my friends for this Sundays event, one has a 98 Mustang GT and the other has a 98 Integra GS-R...we'll see what happens

integra -> A4 2.8
I always thought integra RS/LS to A4 2.8 or 328i was a natural migration path too. I'm one of them. I'm not sure about integra to 1.8T though, especially from GSR. I have to agree with you though, the reason I'm moving to A4 is the luxury/sports balance. (TL wanted to be just that, and failed on both accounts as far as i'm concerned).
