[s-cars] UrS as a Purpose Built Track Car?

[Mark Strangways]

Do it.

It is what it is. 
If your trying to beat others at the track then no car will ever be the best.
So maybe there will be better handling cars out there, but you KNOW this car.
There are fun as heck on a track, even with the 95% front end weight...

I thought about doing that to mine at one point, and may do it at some point if I get the car back.

You should be thinking of what is best to remove to try to give you a better 50 50 weight split, no ?
Not sure you want to remove tone from the back though ?

Anyways, there are better out there to discuss that point I know....
