Autox Mini vs STi
I have a buddy with a modded STi. Every bolt on known to man but stock turbo. Racing Coil-overs etc. Him and my fiancé trade a lot of smack talk about whose handles better. Upcoming Autox event and we are going to attend. With no suspension mods and 16% pulley, BPV and CAI, new hancook ventus V12 rubber should she be worried lol? I know power wise it is no comparison but in a tight course where your only in 1st and 2nd... She has a lot more seat time than him but neither have participated in a Autox event.

I'd bet that both will have tons of fun, and that the cars really won't matter much.
First autocrossers are generally 5-10 seconds off the pace on a 60 second course, and how much improvement occurs run to run varies a lot depending on the driver.
Perhaps both will get hooked on the sport!

The MC has been called a 'devastating' auto-x package more than once, and dominates it's class. I think on a 60 second course you're probably talking about cars that should be dead even.

If you don't have an lsd you're going to get smoked by the sti. Auto X is all about braking the latest, carrying the most speed through the corners, and getting the power down as quickly as possible upon exit of the apex. Open diffs fry the inside tire and lose seconds in overall time very quickly. The order of importance in AutoX is: Driver/ LSD/ Brakes/ Suspension/ Tires. HP means almost nothing in Auto X. Good luck.
