Not as competitive as the coupe since its heavier and not as rigid. At least thats how I see it.

Probably won't become national champ. Not with your 19" wheels though

I bet that the car would do just fine. Have to do fine tuning as with all of the other cars that autocross.

If it was in the same class as the Z coupe then it would be at a severe disadvantage due to the extra weight. It would be like a coupe driver running with a passenger all the time, but without the benefit of the extra balance a passenger can sometimes bring. But, even though I think it would have a tough time being competitive, it would certainly be lots of fun. And there is always a satisfaction to doing decently in a car that is not quite as capable as the others out there.

actually, they may class it somewhere besides BS. Maybe they will put it in FS, then it would do very well probably.
