Kong, it's the Chevron before that @ Herndon and Polk (right after the "hump"). Since Mike is going with his STI, I'm hoping he can give me a hand with my 4th wheel.

Video of one of my runs:
http://cvs2ks.net/091006AutoXa.wmv
My take with the AP2:
The back end of the car felt very planted, felt very predictable. There seemed to be a lot more body roll with the AP2 than my old AP1 (assuming due to the softer suspension). At times, the car felt like it pushed a lot, but it was probably me just getting too hot into the corners.
The one thing I missed most was the 9,000 redline. For the course yesterday, I found myself shifting a lot, where as in the AP1, I could leave it in 2nd most of the time. Luckily, I've been practicing my heel / toe! After watching the video, I think there was one more spot where I should have downshifted into 1st. Probably would have knocked another second off. Anyway, it was a fast course (straights and slaloms).
It was fun to back into auto-xing and to see everyone out there. Usually, it's only me or one other S2Ker! Hopefully, you guys can make it out to next one (in 2 weeks).
