Car is not for noobs with that sway bar on tho.... not as forgiving on exits..

Do you think I should go for the 1.25 or 1.0 rear bar?

We don't get to pick lanes. It all depends on how the officials grid you in the pits...
In the finals (best out of three) sometimes they will ask the crowed just for the fun of it...

I have the 1.25 bar on my car.

it is ******* evil

You can't go wrong either way, but watching what your car did in turn one, an OTTP bar will make you smile big.

Real big.

Sweet stuff. I have a track about 40 minutes from my house that does a circuit race like that. They call it 'Spectator drags'. WAY smaller course but good times.

I may not own an SS/TC, or have ever done a circuit track, but I'll chime in and mention that you guys are forgetting driver mod..

****, it could be an 1000WHP EVO for all I care, but if the person behind the wheel doesn't know how to drive the car, then ****, of course it's going to be close. You're telling me that one of the AWD super-cars out there couldn't take a puny stock SS/TC on a circuit course, you're definitely pulling my dick..

Close race none-the-less.

..Or learn how to drive it.

What good is power if you can't drive the car. It's like giving a monkey the keys to a Bugatti Veyron.

The car and tires deseve some of the credit too. Way too many underestimate the handling capabilities this car posesses. Especially with good tires and a rear sway bar. Good driver helps too.

Subaru defintiely had the power advantage. He was in front by 2 car lengths going into the first turn. That didn't even look like an 1/8th mile. Good run, but the STI driver looked scared to get near you.
