That may be so, and is probably fair, but it still does not bode well for the SVTFocus considering it got smoked by the ACR by 1.5 seconds (an eternity) on a 42 second course.
Now, I will say that adding aftermarket struts might help the Focus, but they did not even get into camber adjustments in the test. The Neon can legally add up to 2.4 degrees negative camber!!
To be fair, I smell a rat on the Neon because the wheels I see pictured look nothing like the stock 15" ACR wheels I see in the brochure. The tires they tested also look considerably wider than the 185/60-15 that come stock.
Agreed. The ACR is a purpose built car so it should do better in autoX. But I would think if the ACR constantly wins this year by those margins, it would get moved up. Still should be a pretty good year in G stock.
