any one ever considered taking a tc or xa or xb


i know there not rally cars but i also know the srt-4 isnt and a decent amount of them went this year


it seems like it would be fun asuming we could make it up lol dont realy see why we would have issues though since boosted cars notice the power loss more then n/a cars and also we can out handel a non-acr srt-4 so with some decent suspension mods we should be able keep up with them




it was just a question though please dont bash me and say that we dont have rally cars

Since my last car was a RWD car [Camaro] I always figured I could try Uphilling seeing as how its where FWD excels. I'd wanna go, but haven't the cash to do so lol

^^^I figured RWD would be better for uphilling and FWD better for the downhill seeing as gravity would be putting more weight on the front end. That added weight would help acceleration as well as cornering. Why do you say FWD is better for uphill?

Just the opposite. Downhill in FWD car leaves far too much pressure on the front wheels, and vice versa for RWD on uphills. You'd be spinning out almost every time you got on the gas, or understeering in the FWD car.

not sure if the A or B would make the trip to 14000 feet. I made a trip through Colorado twice in my Daytona and that car even struggled going thourgh the Eisenhower Tunnel at 10000 feet. I could push the gas and nothing happened.
