Rallying is the most fun form of racing I have experience so far Holy, crap. I need to get a car I don't care about rolling or putting into a tree now. I got to ride in a fully prepped rally car on some logging roads. Oh, my, god. I need to learn to drive like that.

Yep, there's somethin about bein sideways with your foot planted & your ***-end hangin off the road that gets the blood a pumpin. The old Dodge Colts & Plymouth Arrows are cheap-but-good cars for that stuff Eric.

There's just something about going 45mph around a corner sideways in the dark when you can only see 20 feet ahead of you and nothing on the other side of the corner. Closed road by the way. I'm hoping ORR will give me a similar level of adrenaline, since that's what my 242 will do

Orr Poik,
That does sound like fun, but now think about throwing yourself through corner rated at 55mph at 155+ and hoping you DON'T kick it sideways. Hold on to that picture and come ORR with Boyce and I. I am glad to see a few of you F-Body guys are going to take the plunge. Just let Boyce or I know if you have any question or if we can help.

Jeff,
What are you running in the rear axle, LSD? Does anybody use a spool? To me it doesn't seem it would make that much a difference at those speeds and sweeping turns. Also, I assume you are running a dry sump system?
