why would an svt be in h stock ? its got way better suspension and power over the se and zx3

Because it would get destroyed in the next class up (GS). If it had LSD, it'd probably would be there, instead.

Anywho, thanks guys. I'm actually kinda disappointed that I'm over a second off of first. I'm going to have to buck up, and whip something out of my ass, tomorrow.

Also, videos to come when I get home. My power cord on my laptop broke, and I'm down to 15 minutes of battery life as I make this post.

Good luck, Bill! Make us proud!
Looking forward to the pics.

you got this Bill! the West course looks to be a lot faster.. Full throttle!

[Zewerr]

I'm about to start. If you want to watch it, go to www.ustream.com/sccasolo, (I think that's correct, but I'm on my phone, so I'm not sure) and watch the west course feed.

Edit: It's not the correct link. Just search "sccasolo" at Ustream.

When I was in H-stock I ran faster than a couple SVTs. It's a bit heavier than my '11 sedan and the 2.0 Duratec has more usable torque and better gearing.
But now I'm in STF so it's back to the bottom for me haha

Its less about the SE and ZX3 and more about the other cars in HS and their relative performance. IE the SVT is equal to the Mazda 3 and the Mini Cooper.

Its also interesting that Bill in H Stock is running neck and neck with the leader in STF.
