I bet this guy would be a SICK rallycrosser...

great traction control...

the car in itself is VERY interesting.....apparently SCCA-legal too, though for what class I have no clue.

Nice video...down around Memphis (suburbs actually), when the first snowflake hits or there's an ice/snow advisory, folks clear the roads and clean out the grocery stores and WalMarts

That gives me the chance to play a little rally/autox on empty lots and deserted roads and slow safe speeds...Always preferred my little '93 Altima for that since it has great balance and weight dist....

That's the first twin engine car I've heard of since the Tiburon in SCC....reminds me of an Isuzu Impulse or hatchback Delorean...

not sure how I missed this before, but I really wish I had a video camera back in 92 while I was living at my grandfather's house. Three doors down from me, there was a guy a year older than me that built and raced dirt stock cars. A few times when it snowed, we fired that thing up and took it in the parking lot of a nearby closed grocery store.....
open header v-8, car designed to turn left, and snow makes for a very fun time.....except the light poles in the parking lot would occasionally scare the $hit out of you....

^^^Are you up to date on the current Version of Firefox?

I'm running Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 on WinXP.
That site has the file (I think wmv) in a web page instead of a link to the file itself. Maybe one of your other softwares have outdated versions.

use Avant browser. IE based, but without much better security and features. Best browser out there.

Every time I use Firefox something gets f-ed up on my computer.

Huh, I can never get windows media player to work right in firefox. I had to open the page in IE. Anyways, nice clip, reminds me of when Tak had to rescue Natsuki from Miki driving the Celica.
