Having raced modern small bike engined cars and shifter karts and even an A-mod at SCCA autocross (including nationals) I can confirm that no, an FV will not take TTOD at a competitive autocross.

A good judge of performance for cars in the classes is the PAX index for adjusted top times- 1.000 is the fastest recorded times, everything is normalized from that. Every year, either A-mod cars or FSAE cars post the fastest times at nationals. The rest of the top times in each class are normalized.

PAX for the class most FV cars would be in would be about .900


That doesn't mean it's not damn fun to drive one.
