That S2000 is based on the original European car, not the watered down DEARBORN p.o.s.! What are they thinking? That people wouldn't notice the difference in looks? The grille is totally different! Nothing like the USDM car at all!
How about "Dealer installed performance parts will not be warranted!!!"Haha Marc
Actually the Rally America car is prepped by Olsberg MSE and not MSport like the S2000.
I am hoping this thread doesn't turn into another "bash Dearborn" and "Americans buy SUV's" thread. I can honestly say I am getting very tired of them.
The event about 4 hours or so to the north of me, and I am planning on attending. I don't think anyone covers it for TV.what a beast!! Wonder if there will be any TV coverage in Europe of the Rally America Sno*Drift Rally.
BRGT350, is this rally in your neighbourhood, and if so are you planning on attending. If you are will you be getting any video/pics??
