I guess. I have more e85 stations in a five mile radius than 93 oct stations everyone has listed. Rochester still sucks. I have seen a few more ss/sc's around though.

fiesta starts at 13k but I think the hatch starts at 15k. Team O'Neil Motorsports is the official reseller and authorized installer for the R2 kits. Only cars prepared by Team O'Neil will be eligible for the U.S. Fiesta Sport Trophy Championship.

In europe they have 9k euro car and 17k euro for the kit. So a pre-prepped feista here in the US will run 25k-30k... but we will see what the o'neil motorsports sells it at.

I think we should take a vacation to new hampshire for a rally lesson in a feista

The Rally America rallycross fiesta's are roughly 600hp. the are not governed like the rally cars are.

If you guys are serious about rally racing, I know a few people that will get you info about the ins and outs of it.. trust me, its very very very expensive anyway you look at it Regional events are quite a bit cheaper but also a lot less competitions. National events, last i heard entrance fees were close to 1k for both driver/co-driver. not including tow rigs, extra parts, damage, room, food, gas etc etc. that is for ONE weekend.

Speaking about racing

IIRA schedule is up (tentative until we get some weather!!)

Season Schedule

January 8 – 9th, 2011 Garrison, Minnesota, Lake Mille Lacs

January 15 – 16th, 2011 Mankato, Minnesota, Lake Washington

January 29th – 30th, 2011 Lindstrom, Minnesota, lake is TBD

February 12 – 13th, 2011 Mankato, Minnesota, Lake Washington

February 19th – 20th, 2011 saved for Thunderbay, Ontario, Lake Superior

February 26th – 27th, 2011 Garrison

the WRC spec fiestas are 600hp yes. The r2 is 168 fwd and the ford racing 350hp one is only a concept. As much as I'd love to do rally I dont have the time or money yet

The fiesta's at the xgames were ~600hp. and the ones they use for the new rallycross they do here in new jersey are also ~600hp.

the stage cars are restrictor plate cars.

The Ferrari 360 GT is lighter, more powerful, and lower than the F360 Challenge and features a more aggressive aero package. It can be seen here hunting down Nürburgring graffitti artists

ya an automatic gets bolt ons... :/ the cruze has turned into a corolla. Only the 1.8L 138hp NA model has manual. So unless there is a completely new "sport" model...it cant get the tuners.
