Oh Buoy:

Regardless of the virtues of the 351W, if you plan on AutoX, concentrate your efforts and time on maximizing your braking capabilities. Make sure that set up is your premier objection. Power is not the issue if that is the kind of racing you want to do. At most of the AutoX I attend, even without handicapping, it is the Neon ACRs, Acura Integras, Subaru WRXs that finish at the top of the pack. Their braking and handling is superb and the Neons only run 150 hp. I have seen these cars beat the Z06 and Grand Sport Corvettes in regional competition. All in the handling and brakes.
