I've finished ~1 second behind another similarly prepped Evo at the last two auto-x events. He's been running Kumho v700's and I've been on the stock Advans. I finally bought some Kumhos last week, and my first run was 2 seconds slower than him - new tires are greasy! My second run was 3 SECONDS FASTER, his was slower and I think that spooked him. He didn't have a clean run after that and I just kept getting faster. On raw time I was fastest by 3/10ths, but he had a cone on his fastest run. His best corrected time was over a second slower than my best. I was in danger of losing my points lead, but the new tires saved me.

I should have some really good pics from the event, I was sliding/drifting the car just about everywhere - even hitting the rev limiter in second gear a few times. I'll post 'em when I get them.
