Just go out and give it a try; I think you'll like it as much as I like autocrossing mine. But as everyone says, be prepared to replace the front tires fairly often unless you want to make modifications that will knock you out of the F Street class. (I'm beginning to see wear on the outer tread surface after only three autocrosses.)
