Um doesn't the Crossfire have an LSD? It sure felt like it when I autocrossed it. The Hoosiers run pretty expensive but I will get the race compound to start with since it should last longer. They run about $300 a piece for rears. The fronts are just over $200. I figure the autocross compound Hoosiers will last about 60-80 autocross runs where as the road race compound which is slightly harder will last over 100 runs. The harder compound will be good to have while I am sorting out the car and the last couple tenths of a second are quite as important. Then eventually move up to the softer tires.

I never felt bad about driving the Miata, it is a fun car to drive and I am not stuck on image. Thanks for the opinion though.
