SS/SC autox on Oct 17 2010

I went to my 3rd autocross event with my SS/SC (I autocross my LE5 before). I was trying to push it as much as I could but I still feel that I have a lot of room for improvement with this car. Here is the best run of the day:

YouTube - VCMC 2010 NCT5 Autocross Cobalt SS/SC

My car is pretty much stock aside from the intake. The tires that I'm running are decent all-season tires (Dunlop SP Sport Signature). I know I'll do better with summer tires but I plan to get those next year. I can't seem to beat other stock cars such as the Civic Si or the Mini Cooper S but I'm not sure if the LSJ is capable to do that...

Also, any advice on my run is appreciated

The all seasons will probably be your bet option. Until they cut the grass on your lot there.

tires are an easy way to gain time and confidence with the extra grip.i run Dunlop star specs, I could make an entire post about all the tires i have used and why i do and do not like them all lol
