No, see...that car has surely had plenty of suspension and engine work done to it. If a 16 yr old kid throws it on his stock car, then it's RICE! Am I getting the idea, guys?

That Rally Impreza is driven on the street, its not trailered to the different stages...

All World Rally Cars must make it to the all the stages on its own power...If you live where the Rally takes place, its not uncommon to see Tommi Makinnen sitting in traffic with the WRC Subaru all decked out and ready for War...

These cars run a 32mm Air Intake Restrictor too...Thats less than a 1.5" intake...Their engines are limited to a maximum of 2000cc's and they must run a complete Exhaust system with Muffler...Every single part on that car is functional...The Wing with all the strakes inside is there to create downforce while drifting sideways around turns...The graphics are the guys who spend the cash, the roof scoop is so the occupants can get some air in the car, the hood scoop and vent are there to induce air flow thru the coolers and out the engine bay...The projector Headlights are their to create maximum light while remaining small and easier to avoid damage...The rims weigh about 22lbs each...All stock suspension mounting points are retained...All cars are registered and have papers that allow them to run on the street...They drive for sometimes 20miles between stages...

nope. it's just there to get some air circulating in those cars. but hell, there may be a camera in there too, i've never closely inspected a rally car.

Yep. Mother natures A/C. Some of them do have a camera, but they're found in a little scoop-looking thing next to the scoop. I have a picture of one somewhere..
