That looked just like a stock STI, the bugeye was a stage prepped car. He couldn't and wouldn't have driven the white car nearly as hard knowing that if he slammed into a tree, his body would have been split into one hundred pieces. Not to mention, I'm sure the bugeye is a lot better on dirt. Just sayin

damn that was intense as hell, and the Porsche's tires were worn, but just try and imagine the furry of the Corvette driver during the post race ceremony

The corvette driver knew he was going to lose the race so he pushed it, a little too much. He was at fault and I'm sure he knows it.

I agree to a degree but I also think that the Porsche driver was acting purely out of anger at that point even though he was clearly going to win which was a pretty dumb move. Forcing someone against a wall, especially a faster car can be unpredictable. I don't like Nascar but I've watched my fair share and I've seen situations very similar to that were the outside car will make contact with the inside car on their door and spin. The corvette could have ended up t- boning the Porsche across the finish haha

The Porsche driver was in his right to change to the inside line. You're allowed to change lines once, this means if the Corvette had gone outside and the Porsche had changed to pushing him towards the dirt then the Corvette would have been given the pass. He didn't have enough time to go back around, though, I guess he trusted that roll cage enough

The high revving, small displacement, uniqueness, i like how fb rx-7's look. You ever feel attracted to something, but you know it's nothing but trouble? that's the feeling.

i'd rather just do an ITB build with the 1.8. The weight balance is already 50/50 so weight loss isn't as big of an advantage as it could be with a 13b.
