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

[Ian Duff]

Not quite germane to the original post, but fun to consider nonetheless: make it an Avant, bolt some kid seats to the rollcage in the stripped back seat area, and really piss off the "Flatout" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7iUKaPlBl8) rubes...

There's plenty of potential there, it's all about the weight, and plenty can be shed.  I have also built and tuned a type 44 5000tq race car for the track (2700lbs wet), and the first comment from Probst after his drive in it at Brainerd a few years ago" "It's so easy to drive fast"....

Needs some monster brakes front and rear, but there is no question it will be really quick.  I'm a big fan of the Type 44,D2,C4 chassis as a baseline for a performance car.  Short of full out racing, they will perform quite well against a lot of bigger dogs, with drivers working much harder to achieve the same speed.
