Yea 1st gear autocross is not so much fun. Steering inputs on a course that requires you to go that slow just get ridiculous and harsh and the wonderful feeling of controlling and dancing with vehicle dynamics and tire slip angles just goes out the window.

It'd probably look a little something like the red line, blue line, or yellow line. Not sure which.

Yep, well said. I did an autox in a small lot with a BMW club once where I never left 1st gear. The car was too jittery and jumpy to have fun navigating around cones at a max of 30-35 mph. It's just the wrong tool for the job.
apparently s2000 drivers never heard of momentum. |

the last time i saw someone do an autox in 1st they blew the motor.

how about just build a car and not worry about the autox track.
But maybe 2nd will work out :D |

Yes, you are right. And thats why I don't really care about what class I'm put in either but I don't know, i definitely didn't want to be slower or loose the usefulness of first gear. If the second gear spool does not work out on my track, second will be a boring gear. Luckily, even if I don't get traction in first, it will be:skid:

Man, turbo with second gear might actually be faster AND perhaps less wear and tear because I won't be revving it up to 7k. :D Might just be perfect :bigtu: |
Dammiy ryu. Stop changing things. I hereby banish you to at least 15 minutes of research before each post.

GT is the BB version, but they're the same size turbo.
|
Okay so yup I know that but the BB spools at least couple hundred Rpms faster no?
|
Not really on a turbo this size. Yes it'll spool a little quicker but a 2554 journal bearing is going to spool lightning quick on a VVT 1.8. You seriously have nothing to worry about.
