Autocross - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Took my ZR1 to an autocross last weekend for the 1st time and wow what a blast, I've been on a high all week. I'm already anxiously awaiting the next event!

The balance and power of the zr1 is simply amazing. I've only autocrossed 2 times before, once in a GT Mustang and once in my 69' TR6, and while those were fun, the performance doesn't even compare. My tires are a little old, and that combined with cold damp conditions made it tricky. I found my best times by short shifting to second and keeping the revs down to help keep the rear end in check.

Although I'd really like to pickup some new sticky tires, I was still able to get 1st in my class (B Street Prepared), and 3rd out of ~20 novices.

Anyways, just wanted to brag. Next event is in 2 weeks, hopefully I'll get some video.

Anyone else autocross their Z? Any input on tires, tire pressure, or alignment settings?
