No, I came close on the first run of the second session both days, but that was just due to cold tires. (Still have street tires at this point, working on getting some r-comps) I did have some push going through that corner and one other, both were 180* turns, and both were after you had built speed up to between 55-65 mph >.< I think that was due to me using the abs on them though, next time I run this course I am going to make it a point to NOT let the abs come on and see how she does : D

Stock RX-8s do have more roll than is ideal.

I actually have the base model, so the only driver assist I really have is the ABS. Works for me though, lighter car ftw! (I do have the best dsc/tcs system available though...my right foot and hands do wonders! haha)

Edit: On a side note, I am addicted to autocross now. I plan to (within the next couple of years) get the koni yellows, eibach sways, and a set of r comps with rims. I don't really think there is much else I can get away with in BS and that should get me competitive.
