What is everyone's opinion about bringing out my M45 Sport to the Auto-X track. Here is a list of some info if you all are not aware:

Pro's: Fast Accel, good braking, 4 wheel steering, .9 g's on the skid pad, 19-inch factory rims with good tires, sport suspension, triptonic

Con's: Big 4-door Car, Heavy (but still 5.5 second 0-60)

ANY comments or ideas would be great. If it would be fun and I could actually hold up against others it would be great. But if you think the car can't perform like I would want, let me know! Thanks..

You can autocross just about anything,. An M45 might be mildly amusing for a couple runs, but the front tires will wear very quickly as it's such a heavy car. A luxobarge like that would be far more entertaining on a long flowing race track where you can open it up and stretch it legs, rather than a tight windy parking lot course. I've been in Audi A8's on race tracks. Kinda cool reeling in 944's in a luxury car.
