If it's the same suspension they'd have to get into the prepped class with suspension mods alone to race on my tracks, just to be on par... that's really hurts them for MY racing, but not so much for others. If that's the case that's pretty lame, even Saturn knew better than that...

MOST AWD cars started out as FWD ones and became AWD be redesign. There is not a separate Front Diff on an Evo, even. That's why Subaru makes such a big deal about their symetrical AWD. It's the most elegant solution, but in the long run, the EVO still beats the STI.

The new SRT-4 and the MS3 are both FWD vehicles. NEITHER WILL BE AWD (for this first run at least).

the ms3 suspension thing was just brought up about the fact they didn't change anything to make it more performance oriented. i think that suspension is just going to be too soft for any real good usage outta it

Gotcha. And it will be hard to even maintain the posted .87 g's with the extra weight.
