    You can try to make a street car into an autocrosser or you can do a lot less work and make a race car into a great autocrosser

    If the ztech is 2.0l or less, it might be DM??? XP would be better if it fits, it's an easier pax :-)

    There's a fellow with a red elan coupe that runs at Colombus in from time to time. He runs in XP but said it really was not a perfect fit. The car and driver are both pretty quick.
