I think its noble you guys are trying to take op seriously, but the context of this thread speaks for itself.

Ah, but what if we're really just setting him or her up? Maybe we are pretending to take the thread seriously because we plan to suggest that he or she get in contact with JVL, who will be ten times as rude as all of us put together. Or maybe we are friends with Ryan Thompson and, once it's clear to the thread-starter that he or she will need some experience, we'll suggest that he or she rent Ryan's FWD Evo for an event.

Addendum:

Those who don't know who JVL is, you are blessed; keep it that way as long as possible.

Those who don't know who Ryan Thompson is, you are unfortunate; rectify as soon as possible. Here's one place: http://www.specialstage.com/forums/s...tal-Rally-Cars

Yeah, that happens to me, too, when I think about rally. But I've never heard it called a "plot" before. tee hee

RA doesn't require that your previous experience be with them; just that you aren't wet behind the ears. With that said, I agree that it's dumb and there have been several statistical analyses to show that not allowing newbs to run AWD turbos has no real effect on the likelihood of a bad off. In fact, it only seems to increase the odds of a gentle off, which is significant predictor of later safety.

An then there's a certain person that went off rather hard at PPIHC a few years back. Autox experience only and there he is at the Peak. Ridiculous...
