Yes, that would be cool. Except it wouldn't be the hassle of being pulled over every half mile whenever you encounter a cop. Or the constant paranoia you'd have of some cell talking Durango (or whatever SUV) driving loser not seeing you sitting at a stop light as he drives over your backside.

From SeanO's ebay link:


I have taken this car to the salt flats twice, the first time it wanted to fly @ 140 mph

Hmm.... a Toyota wanting to fly at 140 mph...... kinda sounds familiar...... but where? hmmmmm..... help me out here people.......

Eye catching, but in the end not very practical.

In the past I've been sorely tempted by some of the ex-works Group B world rally cars from the early 80's that have been listed for sale. Having a 500hp AWD car that weighed under 2500lbs and was street legal would be a serious grin. They generally sell in the $30K range if they are in good shape. I favor the Peugot 205, Lancia 037 or Renault R5. As Mansell proved these cars were able to keep up with the F1 cars of the day and the R5 uses a detuned version of the Renault F1 engine of the era. :thumbup:
