STX (Street Touring X) My first baseline test of STX car against other competitive STX cars

I am not a fast enough driver to reach the car's' limits in optimum fashion. If I can get Brian Levesque to share it with me, then I will know. The car is better than I am for sure.
So be aware of the nature of the data....
Cheers,

Nice job. I took mine out for my first time this last weekend as well, ended up 35 out of 60 Raw and 27th PAX. Definitely have a lot of room for improvement and learning on this car. I think I could of won my class (DS) of 3 if I wouldn't have picked up a cone on my fastest runs each time (we did a mini pro style with 2 courses and 3 runs each course). The class winner was 19 Raw and 10th PAX. I feel like the mini is oddly classed in STU and DS, stuck in classes with a bunch of RWD or AWD cars.
What pressures are you running? I was running 37-38 up front (chalk marks would scrub off to the edge) and ~40 in the rear. Car wouldnt rotate much for me, but it didnt push really bad into the corners either. I started at 35 in the front and 37 in the rear and kept going up, I felt like this was a good pressure as anything above this and the car would start to understeer and below this I was getting too much sidewall flex. I'm on 205/55/16s btw. I really need a rear sway bar.

that is a lot of pressure for re71, are you camber limited? On my stx car I ran -2.8 up front and was able to get the pressure down to low 30's the grip was much better.
I switched to SMF and have not looked at STU, out here there is no way to be competitive in stu it would be a 3+ second gap it's really sad they put the turbo mini's there
