Sorry I'm a S2 Nazi :hehehe: nah, I love all RX7s
Power is not as important from car to car, but handling and braking are. A yugo at it's cornering limits can hardly keep up with a Skyline using half of it's traction. The Focus has surprisingly good handling and braking, on par with that of a Corvette. The power doesn't make much of a difference on a short course, but the RWD is still a handling advantage, unless you can't control it.

Whats even more important is the car's lateral grip and turning radius.

Yes, both of which I would categorize under "handling".

Well, yea I guess that makes sense....but you can have a car with great handling but a relatively large turning circle (IE honda NSX).

 Or if you could spend a bit more money, a 944 is a great idea. It's got great weight distrib. FR, nice power. I'm not sure if the gearing would be well suited for AutoX or not tho.

Gonthrax, I wasn't aware they made a USDM MK1 MR2 Turbo... I thought they only used the supercharged variant here. The 944 is an excellent choice, buy for autocross purposes, the 924 is much cheaper, and that leaves more money for suspension upgrades. Put a grand into the suspension of a 924, strip it out, and you have a mean autoX car.
