Autocross has very tight turns unlike a race track, hence the body roll. Trust me, it was a small amount of roll compared to some cars but then again, I only scored mid pack. It's a BMW group and I have to give them credit, either their cars are really well balanced/moded or they are awesome drivers. I was able to beat my friends M3 convertible by 1 second though.

Without even seeing the rotors, one could tell it was a Z51 by the minimal body roll in the photos.
