So......a long long time ago I spent a bunch of time here. And then I didn’t (long story)

Well I’m pretty much set on the idea I’m going to be autocrossing a 4th gen again.

So what has changed?

Some things I’ve found already:
Tires are drastically more expensive
Available “good” r compound options are even more limited
Street prepared has some allowances I would have liked to have way back when
The “newer cars” have taken over ESP
Wheels have gone up in price. I think I only paid $400-450/wheel for CCW’s

CAM C looks like a class that I’d probably run in “most” of the time just for the participation.


What else has changed in 10 years LOL

Not only have tires gotten more expensive, but if you used to run wide 17" tires you are basically hosed. It's nearly impossible to find a 17" tire wider than 255. You need to move up to at least a 18" wheel.

I saw that come up a few times. I’d really like to run a 17” wheel in the back and planned on an 18” wheel up front anyhow.
It looks like for somewhat affordable wheels though I’m definitely stuck with 18’s. Maybe a 335/30/18 frt 345/30/18 rear combo in the future? LOL

When I last bought R comps it was v710’s at $200 each in front and $225 each in rear. That’s less than half per tire of today’s A7

Those tire prices are a little misleading. Hoosier has always been significantly more expensive than Kumho.

That's why I never ran Hoosiers. I wasn't good enough to make use of the 10% advantage that Hoosier might provide, specially for the 50% to 75% price premium.
