Topic says it all...curious with the engine powerband shift which turns out to be faster on an autocross course.

"bigger" motor. more TQ, better gearing. few tweaks here in there in suspension...biggest being stepping up to 17in tires stock.

the 01 has better gearing, the 04 will cause you to have more 2-3 3-2 shifts than you would with an 01...01 takes the caek for auto x

Yeah I'm going to try a 2002 out tomorrow...we'll see what happens. I won't buy until my car is sold, but that test drive will say enough.
