I agree that there is a big difference between a good road race setup and a good autox setup. I also agree that an F5 will never feel as good as the Vancouver Special. However, Gary Milligan has been a part of building some of the fastest mod cars out there and does know what it takes to make a car fast for autox within the limitations of the rules. Following his advise has resulted in masive improvements to our car's handling and driveability over the past couple years, but it would seem we still have a ways to go.
