It looks like the end of the track(last hundred feet) slopes down a bit.

They are awd, but also have the ability to jsut use the rwd. Those cars are sick. The reason it slopes is to help slow down the vechicles once they reach the end.

25psi is right. They have a switch that makes them just RWD or AWD. The tranmissions don't use syncro's either.

I'm not talking about the up slope. I knew what that was for. I was just saying that it looked like the track sloped down a bit before the end of the 1320 maybe around 1200ft or so. It might just be the camera though.

I'm thinking about purchasing an r33 or r32 that thy have down here. I think one is for 22k and the other is 30k. I'm going down to look at them this weekend, if anyone wants to check them out. The only problem is, it takes 3-4000 dollars just to register them.

Why is it so expensive to register? Is that anually or just a initial 1 time deal?
