About the same, 6th out of 9. I beat a race prepared Porsche though.
My best run was a 62.2 (5th of 6 runs, an entire second faster than my previous best) and that would have moved me from 6th to 4th, but I hit a cone in one of the slaloms.
The course was the same length as Saturday, but was 6-8 seconds faster, VERY fun.
Another Evo and an STI with coilovers were just ahead of me, then a 350Z with coilovers and R-compounds, then two M3s (one on Azenis, the other on Rs) were nearly neck and neck for the lead with the M3 with Rs coming out a few tenths ahead.
I'm doing pretty good for having an under-prepared car, though a guy with a stock Evo 8 RS put down times that rivaled the fastest cars, but he isn't human. Working on getting some coilovers, then need a set of wheels to put R-compounds on, then it's just little stuff like suspension bushings and a little more power.
The car needs some work, though. I'm getting alignment done this Thursday which I'm told will greatly improve how the car behaves in the corners. One thing that bothers me is I was the only Evo (stock suspension or otherwise) that was lifting the inside rear wheel at all. I don't know if it's my driving or if I have blown front struts, but it really bothers me. The car just felt like the front outside corner was digging in really hard. I had to put more air in the front tires than I wanted, even more than the other Evo guys were, because I was beginning to roll the tires halfway to the wheel.
