our cars handle a LOT better than nearly EVERY other car out there in its price range...and a lot better than MANY cars that cost as much as 3 or 4 times as much.....
yes the MP3 and the MSP will our handle our P-5's....our cars weigh more.....and don't have the same springs/struts/bars as them.....
but just head our car off into some twisties and hang on....its amazing...
in last july or august edition of C&D or maybe it was Road and Track there was a chart in the back of the previous 258 cars that they had tested....everything from every end of the price range....meaning from econoboxes....to million dollar speciality cars.....of that entire list...there were only 38 cars that out handled our car......the list that ended up BELOW the P-5 was an impressive list of cars.....even including some of the Vettes, some BMW's, and many many cars that if you had to run them in the twisties...well they would be VERY surprised....of course the straights are another matter all together....

Not good good for autocross? You should ask Big_Ben who wiped up the competition (even an Integra Type R) at his 1st autocross....in a STOCK MP3!! But your original statement still stands. It isn't the "greatest" car for autocross in the world.

ahhh! hehehehe... I never said the car was bad.
I did this whole season in a Protege5 and it was my first year. Next year I will be campaigning the MP3 and see how I do. I'm sure the car is still way ahead of my driving skills. There is also no specific street tire class in my region so .. r-compounds for next year are a must.
What areas do you compete in .. against which other cars. Got results posted online?

We are in southern Arizona. My daughter runs the MP3 in the local events, I usually run my 10AE Miata. I have run the MP3 in the regional events in Tucson occasionally but I am out of town too much to compete up there as well. When I have run the MP3 up there I have won street tire class and usually run close to STS. Say a second off the class winner.

Our new season starts on 12 Jan. It is tough to go a month without an autocross fix.
