    As for the thread, my guess is ZDX is either a disillusioned SCCA member, or a NASA guy. Prolly NASA since he hates rear wheel drive.

    That's cool, just PM me as you build it and let me know the brand of tires you'll be using on your big old FWD whatever, so I can get in on the stock while it's low.

    NASA? Uh, no clue what that is, bro. I'm pretty sure you don't mean the space people.

    and, no problem apex.

    --EDIT--

    lol, I just went on to Tire Rack, and the only way I can put track tires on it, is if I put 20" wheels on it.

    I may actually do that, just because Tire Rack is retarded and only have racing tires for cars that cost over $50K.

    If you're going to get 20" wheels, just get spinners and be done with it. They're great for taking out the competitions tires when you're banging fenders.

    Not that I even remotely believe this thread is serious, but IF someone wanted to run a larger FWD car some options currently listed are:

    ITR:
    91-95 Acura Legend
    91-96 Dodge Stealth
    89-95 Ford Taurus SHO
    91-99 Mitsubishi 3000GT

    ITS:
    92-93 Oldsmobile Achieva
    88-91 Oldsmobile Calais
    88-89 Pontiac Grand-Am
    93-97 Volvo 850 GLT

    Don't forget the +100 lbs weight penalty for NO2.

    You know, the Rolls would actually be legal in SPO if you used the fixed head
    I can see it now running against all of the ex-NASCAR COT Impalas.

    They run Impalas in NASCAR successfully so I bet it would be the same in road racing.

    Umm... which part of a NASCAR Impala has anything at all to do with an Impala? And what does NASCAR have to do with road racing? (Yes, I know they do two RR events per year).
