damn GPXers trying to hijack our thread!
You know to me it doesn't matter if I have a Mivec or not, I'm happy with my FTO and always will be
And yes I'd put money on Bennoz's GR vs a GPX anyday

Bennoz's "slightly modified" GR vs. WildRide's "slightly modified" GPX?
Sounds good to me

Depends on how well the turbo is driven
We've raced turbo's and beaten them due to being more familiar with tracks and racing lines.
Will be interesting to see what happens as we progress up the classes and compete with people who are experienced on the track
We've tossed the idea around of putting a turbo on our GR (not the GPX), but this year we're running as a modified road registered to see how it performs first.
(but ps - Had forgot that WR has a turbo
)

It's great if it has turbo, but I would never turbo my FTO as it will reduce my baby's life span greatly, as it does with any N/A car
