It just pulls so hard. My previous autocross car was a 2015 Miata so, obviously, there's a big difference there. However, before that I ran a 2004 Z06 for 5 or 6 seasons. It's been a while but the Supra seems to pull much stronger than I remember in the Z06. Having torque peak at like 1800 RPM makes a big difference it seems.
I do need to get used to the short wheelbase and very quick turn-in but overall an excellent first event. I finished second in pax by about a tenth even though I had cone troubles on most runs. I clipped a cone on my two fastest runs because I had trouble getting used to how quick the car turns in. I also couldn't get comfortable enough today to turn VSC completely off. I ran in traction mode every run. I'll try turning everything off after more seat time but I must say traction mode was very lenient it seemed. I noticed very little intervention and it actually let the car slide quite a bit. Here's the top 20 pax list. That 911 Carrera 4S was very cool. Launched like it was shot out of a cannon with 4 wheel drive. I was pleased to be right on top of him though considering I could buy my car three times over for what that car costs. And my fastest run with a cone was actually 57.17 to his 57.12. Those pesky cones...
