Video of my 2000cs auto-x-ing in the rain

I have seen posts about CS's doing open-track days, but has anybody else autocrossed their CS? the long wheel base may not be that great for some tight tracks.

Absolute Hoot :P
Well done 8)
In the Uk what you did seems to be a cross between Autotest, where you have to do a load of manuovers around cones and Autocrossing which is a track on a field - read dirt track, no more than 2000 metres long

I think it is wonderfu that folk are willing to thrash the n*ts off a classic car to have fun rather than it sitting on a trailer, just my opinion I hasten to add :)

Great

Took my 3.0cs, since sold, out last year to the San Diego autocross. IT's usuall about a 1 mile track set-up at Qualcomm Stadium. I had never driven a coupe that hard and I can say first hand that despite the bars, bilstiens, tires, etc. They are a challenge and very light inthe ass. First turn I took had me spinning as I came in way too fast. Other than that I had a great time

Hey Norm, thanks for sharing, it was "really" nice to see the old De Anza parking lot, oh...and your coupe also -smile-

Way too cool!!!

I am glad you enjoyed the video. Having a save environment to test the limits of my car under such wet conditions has help a lot. You're right, the ass end is very light.

I have autocrossed my 2800 CS a couple times as well as run track such as Riverside and Laguna Seca. Having also owned a 2000 CS, I can say that the 2000 CS (lighter front end, 4 cylinder) is a better choice for an autocross course but the six cylinder version does better on the big road courses.

Looks like you were having fun. Thanks for sharing.
