I ran my XI in my...

The same wheels/tires will fit either car so I would get the right tires and run your b5. If your happy and/or competitive with it, keep it. If it is off the pace get to a b6.

My car pushed on entry and was loose on full power. I switched my diffs from 10k-60k-5k to 7k-10k-3k and my car went from OK to amazing.

I always felt that there needs to be more actual racing. 6 to 12 hour race day for a 7 or 10 minute main? You have to be 'all in' to spend that much time doing something so obscure.

I have the same opinion about the racers who want to ban it.

Condescend much?
