Can he bring a couple more with him, for close personal friends!:D
Looking at the red 90 ute made me giggle.... there is a saying in Rallying when you have lack of HP...... Hold it flat and only back off to slow down.....
I need to dig up some vids of my old Rally car and my driving style....
I know video does not do the speed of things justice..... but the Red 90 was not that fast....
I also noticed that the choice of wheelbase is important, 100 or 110" would be a lot more stable under acceleration in a straight line, and did you see it 'bucking' it's way through the forrest:o? Even with what looked like 4 Bilsteins at each end! Did anyone else pick up the motor bogging down until the cam came in? A Wrong gear selection would eat time during a special stage in mud or sand. For a 5.3 litre engine I would expect a little more flexibility?
Still, Great vid, fantastic sounds, and makes me want to get motivated with the Mig and some Tube...
90" is too short I believe. Directional changes may be easier at lower speeds, but sacrificing high speed stability and handling over bumps is not fun!:D
I have a chassis and bulkhead, a 727 TF and a 1.4:1 transfer case, all that is required to start making a lightweight decent, reliable and competitive 100/110, except for the TIME!:mad: And the decision as to what engine to fit?? Small block Chev? or a revvy and unbreakable 3.5???:(
Still, I DO need a hobby...:twisted:

It sounded great though:DQuote:
