Ashe - AWD is banned because it gives cars an inherent advantage...namely, traction control.
Meh, I think it's bunk. AWD isnt the greatest drivetrain to be pushing down tarmac at those kinds of speeds..it's an advantage, and it has a number of problems as well. But, I presume standards for AWD would be too hard to regulate given that systems throughout the makes and models are very diffrent.

IE: Mitsubishi's innovative AYC.

that motor uses the stock STi turbocharger, and a relocated intercooler/radiator, its power output probably isnt TOO high compared to the stocker. with the exception of being RWD, the driivetrain is relatively stock, which is highly surprising to me.

The GT300 class is pretty limited as to what they can and cannot modify. The biggest difference is, this car is much, much lighter than stockwith what little weight it does have used in all the right ways.

The stock STI turbo is an IHI ball bearing turbo?
