I think you guys are severely underrating experience and overrating the vehicle.

Yup. When I first started AutoX, I let a buddy of mine co-drive my car. He was 5 seconds faster than me. I wasn't even all over the place, just inexperienced. He had also never driven my car before and I drove it daily.

A lot of people appear to think that AutoX is like roll racing. The better your car is, the better you will be. That's not the case.

Not at all. I've seen it stated as 75% driver, 20% tire, and 5% car. Works for me, I've got no problem wearing that ass kicking.
