Anyway, I am still trying to decide which way to go... I have until Friday to make my decision, but it is down to the AMX or the T4 19. I drove Zac's Genesis, however I am always hesitant with other peoples cars, but from first impression with it, I liked my current T4 better. I am leaning towards the T4 19, due to setup help and parts support. Also I have everything I need for it, so buy the car and the hard bumper and I am good to go. With the AMX it is buy the car, buy the bumper, maybe the long arms (who knows, still too much testing with them), buy the at21s arm mounts, buy extra P03s, buy the soft springs, buy p07s. End up switching out ball studs eventually and maybe the mmcx. Also, not knowing for sure which chassis would be better on the AMX. However, despite all that, I still really want one...

Interesting, I would have figured that the grip at an event like that would get pretty high.

I see that the Xray T4 TQd the Stock TC class at IIC and finished 2nd and 3rd in the A main. Last week at Cleveland (with a completely different driver) the T4 TQd and won the Stock TC class.
Perhaps the AMX isn't as dominant in spec classes as has been suggested? I don't mean to suggest that the Xray is dominant....just that the playing field might still be quite level.
I don't currently get to attend any of these big races so I enjoy reading comments from you guys that regularly attend.

I see Hanulec said the same for traction. I didn't get to go this year, but what was difference this year? Why didn't the traction level get like we are used to? Weird to see over 400 entries and someone say traction was not as high as usual.I was wondering due to our track getting new carpet and such for the Hudy and the Nats and didn't know if the new batch built less traction than before.

Don't think we fully understand why yet
races that run 24/7 are often a bit different with grip level. This was less of an issue in foam classes, but I had grip challenges in rubber classes -- mod TC, stock TC and F1. Not sure if the challenge(s) will continue at SB (I think they might be on older rug)

If the drivers that normally run 21.5 for AMX were running SS, why? Was that at the champs as well? Was it due to motor sponcers not allowing them because of the hand outs?
Hanulec, thanks for the carpet info. I am curious too why a 24/7 race gets weird traction and hope it is not just a change in the carpet or something.

I took the original spirit of this thread to be more about 'who has the better chassis' (I'm suggesting that they are all good) than 'driver vs driver'.
