AutoX+GT500 = FUN!
Tried out AutoX today In my Shelby! OMG it was so much fun! I was wondering what my new suspension setup was going to be like so I signed up for the day! It was a blast, Handled great with very little body roll! Wish I had sticky tires!
Here's a pic and a video!

Awesome! I'm planning on attending some Solo I events this year too. It's great fun. The Shelby looks awesome out there!

Autocross is indeed addictive! More of the members here should give it a try!
Next year you should get another set of rims and a set of V710's or NT01's, both very sticky tires!

I could not do that as I would get lost, seriously. Looks like fun though.

It's the same as anything, practice makes ...well not exactly perfect but at least I usually stay on course now! The more seat time you get, the better you get. Clubs (including ours) usually offer an autoslalom school for new people. It really is a blast!

The one thing I don't know is if your particular "500" is allowed to run in autoslalom by SCCA rules. Something about high potential of rollover.....
