Why everyone should try...

Auto-X! It is such a blast! If you have a G and haven't taken it out to the track you are missing out on what this car can do. It handles very well and makes you feel like you have control the whole time. Very stable for a stock car. First time out and now I am hooked.

Thought I share a few pictures and videos for those who are thinking of trying it out. Enjoy!

Nice man, but how good would 7AT be at this? you really need to work the clutch for this, right?

If you think autox is fun, you should try road course. It's 1000 times better!

Gaijin - I have a 7AT, driving in DS mode the car was mostly in 2nd gear the whole time.

NYC - Yea I just did my clear bra before I went even got the side skirts covered too. I was the only G37 the whole day. There was a G35 that was in the same group I ran though.

I have an SCCA National License and road course racing is the ultimate fun and it is quite addictive!!

^ Will definitely try it one day. Just a little scared that if I do lose control I could end up against a wall...

Laguna Seca was close by this autox event but I think its around $400 to run your car there. Maybe one day...

You'd be SHOCKED! My friend's AWD with 150 miles on the clock (yes, literally 150 miles) kept up with a Porsche GT3 for a few laps before he started getting brake fade and the stupid engine overheating stumble so he backed off. It was still fun for a few laps
