LOL Our names are little different...

But we arent only winners in rallying.

European GT Champions with Orteca Vipers, Audi factory race cars and so on...

Kimis performance todays race was also great. Only if he had different tire strategy.

We also hold many NHRA drag racing world records

WRC those guys are race car drivers.

It hurts to admit but it's a French guy who has a mortal lock on that series. And with French cars

There is nothing bad to say about Mr. Loed than he will be in historybook.
He is the King. I humbly take my hat off.

Great example what you get when first class driver gets to develop a car from beginning. Has done that with every Citroens WRC-model.

Same happend with Makinen and Mitsubishi Evos.

French car? Well they are race cars, a global product.
I'll bet that not all parts have PSA (Peugeot Citroen Group) logo on them

The day that Chevy wins a carmakers World Championship in WRC, I'll burn my Ford and Mopars and tattoo a bowtie to my forhead.

Well I can beat that winning record still with a couple Finns:

7- and 11-time World Enduro Champions Kari Tiainen and Juha Salminen.

Salminen has cleaned the table also in US...

This is little OT but many thing is different here.

Like a Watt link. It has been used in rallycars from to early '70.
Sometimes I wonder some writings in here, like use of aftermarket ECU.
We dont reprogram/flash or chip our stockones, just remove them and put on a shell. We use things like KMS, Motec, Autronic, Cosworth, MegaQ ans so on...

Much more sophisticated than Accel, Holley and Fast. But I think it's about where its made to you guyes...

With all due respect.

That's different. You need that to be dependable.

Half the fun in this sport is tinkering so your Chevy is probably the right choice for that
