At our test and tune this weekend we have a guy that is going to A B A brand new RE71-R's and brand new RS-4's. I will be watching his results closely.

Please post the results here, as I'm really interested to hear how this plays out.At our test and tune this weekend we have a guy that is going to A B A brand new RE71-R's and brand new RS-4's. I will be watching his results closely.
Please do post results! Very interested to see how they do. My understanding the biggest improvement is outer tread block grip and a super stiff side wall.At our test and tune this weekend we have a guy that is going to A B A brand new RE71-R's and brand new RS-4's.

I think The hankooks compete well with the Bridgestones. I was all set on rs3 v2s after riding in my friends camaro on the course but last min got the re-11s because of the price.I'm looking at tires here and I'm having second thoughts on 71R's. The new Hankook R-S4 might be a ringer .
Can't do the 25th, but actually doing the 26th with motor sports NE in a different lot. These guys design the course a little differently and I always seem to get more runs than with the SCCA events. Not really going for points since I'm pretty slow lol so mostly going for fun...JP, first points race with NNJR SCCA March 25th at the Meadowlands
Hoosiers and aftermarket wheels will put you in A Street Prepared I believe. VERY hard index.Do you know what class it will put me in if I run aftermarket wheels (specs of the R) with Hoosier A7s?
My GT350 is stock except for the track alignment and Schroth Harness.
Correct about the index. I think I would have to make up around 3 seconds. But sometimes I just want to get the big dogs on raw times...so close.Hoosiers and aftermarket wheels will put you in A Street Prepared I believe. VERY hard index.
I can report that the RE71 R is faster than the RS4.At our test and tune this weekend we have a guy that is going to A B A brand new RE71-R's and brand new RS-4's. I will be watching his results closely.
As was my suspicion.I can report that the RE71 R is faster than the RS4.
You're going to love them. They stick hard and don't complain about it. Have fun!Testing the Re71R's this weekend. First outing for the season and looking forward to it!!
I can understand that. Just my humble suggestion because I'm by no means a driving god (I usually end up top 1/3 overall of 160+ drivers and mid upper pack of A Street against tire'ed up C5 Z's, C6 GS's, and S2000 CR's), I'd say try out your Super Sports for an event or three and get a feel for how the suspension behaves and THEN tire up more. One hard part about autocross is finding the damn apex lines since it's not always very clear. You have to really understand how your line is set up for the next corner.

Thanks for the posts. I'm new to autocross and trying to absorb as much as I can.
American Autocross, best group of people to run with in California. Its definitely worth the drive up or down to crows landing to participate.I run with
