A question for FRC owners..
I originally posted this on the C5 tech section....
I'm currently looking at buying a 1999-2000 FRC primarily as a car to do HPDE events. Many cars that I've seen do not come with the JL4 option (active handling).
Is this an option that should be considered a "must have" on a car that will be seeing 5-7 track events per year?
thanks for any help

Tom,
Actually, they do. My '00 was built in late '99 and has AH.
MikeMM, AH is a nice-to-have on the street, but you probably have lived without it for a while now. On the track it's a crutch that makes you feel better than you are, to the detriment of the brakes and tires.
Definitely *not* needed for DEs or Autocross. Get your FRC and have a blast!
Have a good one,
Mike

I used to autocross with the AH in competition mode on my '99 FRC but it's faster with it off now that I'm more familiar with the car. I autocrossed C4's before that for about 7 years. On the drag strip I leave it in competition mode, if I hit a slick spot it might keep me out of the wall.
