Cool it used to be a RS1. Still has the original E-Brake lever, ditched the radio for more gauge room, and hahaha it has the part of the roll cage mounted through the air vents on each side. I see it also has mounts for the co-pilot's feet. Wow just cool beans. I would love to see this in person. Do we know if it is naturally aspirated or forced induction, and is it all wheel drive/all-trac? The car they refer to in the article is different than the one pictured at SEMA.

it is a different car but its all the same parts the sema car used for the most part. I believe the engine is all stock and its still fwd. I think they decided to keep it in the lower classes as it probably has more potential there hence why you dont see the aggresive rally wing in the rear and so on.
he finished 23 out of 27 overal and 2 in his class

I would love to see some video of it in action, but when I search for videos I either get reviews for our cars or just some silly videos. Oh well.
Disclaimer: I know it's a bad idea buying a cheap turbo system from ebay.
However, I thought this was note worthy because it supposedly has a turbo exhaust manifold. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3D1&viewitem=
Since we were talking about the rally car. I'm not trying to deviate from the subject, just wanted to see what you think.

I know buying a random Chinese generic turbo kit from ebay is a horrible idea, but because everything offered is cheap and generalized I thought it was odd that they had a turbo manifold for our motor. Still not going to buy it just for the manifold I thought it was interesting and decided to pass on the info. It kinda reminds me of Castrex's home made manifold.
Anyway cool pics, Oregon is beautiful country. I need to run up there and see a rally first hand. We had a rally close to Chattanooga years back, but I missed my opportunity to watch in person. It was called Cherokee Trails International Rally. I think Ken Block was there.

Here are several more videos. They are a summary of each day in the 2WD Max Attack class. Unfortunately no in-car video from the Scion as the Scion media guy would not give them any video (all the other competitors that had cameras did).
