If the Si had no sunroof in addition to that Quaife LSD, lets say that I may very well have an Si today and I would have gotten that car to work for me in GS... But it doesn't, and it gets demolished in GS by the MINI Cooper S and therefore I knew, even before the cars were introduced in September 2005, that the LX would be the better autocrosser in Stock class form.
And you know what, I am sincerely having a lot of fun with the LX and I get almost 40mpg on the highway to boot!

Ok I'm obviously quite ignorant towards Autocrossing other than knowing the basics about it.. so I donno what "GS-prepped Si and an HS-prepped LX" means really. All I wanna know is are you guys saying that a stock LX vs a stock SI around a track would show better times with the LX? If so, I truly find that hard to beleive.
