I couldn't say the same for my RX3 rally car. It had NO traction lol, but it did throw large rooster tails of dirt behind it. I was told the track marshals took to standing a bit further back from my RX3 so they didn't get pelted by dirt and gravel. (sorry guys)
Truth was my RX3 was not at all competitive in the rally-x's I competed in. Even a geo metro got around the tighter stages faster then I could. But I got points for style and the meanest-sounding car. That counts for something
Anyway just wanted to comment that after I put that RX3's bridgeported 12A (also running Weber 48 IDA's) into an FB that engine really came alive. The FB was faster than my RX3 in every way.
I was watching some old rally-footage from the 80's recently and it got me thinking of making an FB rally car again. So when I saw your build it really got my juices flowing. Very cool!
