Pretty sure it was just smooth concrete with the indoor stadium lighting making it look a little shiny.

I love it. I'm a huge ralliart fanboy. I love that the X can withstand the rally conditions like it's younger brothers. Hell look at tanner foust and what he did in his X.

Awesome video. I hate it that rally hasn't really hit it off in the US. It's not as big as other places. Does any one know where we can get Ralliart apparel? I would love to get me one of those shirts and hats the crew is wearing.

Ralliart3000gt on ebay sells a lot of stuff. I've bought from him a few times. I think Rexpeed.net sells some ralliart apparel too.

Also, americans are retarded. You can definitely tell their IQ level as their favorite motorsport goes in a circle

X is great
But it is not boom as it was when IX group N came.
It was like space year difference from VIII in times and within year almost everyone had IX
X group N is homologated for some time now and I have seen over here I thing only one X and it just starded...
It seems if those guys have money at the moment they go and get S2000 rather than X as they run is same class...
I´m wondering what is stock on S2000

here we go again! Any body else see this as the entry point to another CT9A vs CZ4A bastardization of this thread?

EDIT: second thoughts, dont even answer my question.

Why anyone would get a s2000 over a X is beyond me, unless they are not a real race car enthusiast.

I really don't get the s2000 though, I've never found it appealing what so ever. It reminds me of the cartoon cars with the really long nose, and the handling still sucks.

The X is a little expensive, but come on... you're getting a great car. I'm glad I got mine. Every time I drive I love more than before. With my VIII, every time I drove it I'd hate it more than before :P. The VIII was a great car, but had so many things go wrong with it. I guess you could say it was TOO "raw" for me. So many rattles, and things breaking. The X is the best combo for performance and luxury.

Not a Honda S2000, but a Super 2000 class rally car. They're 2 liter normally aspirated cars with a spec AWD system supplied by Sadev and I think X-Trac now has a homologated S2000 drivetrain. All S2000 cars must run strut suspension all around.

we won't hold it against you. My question about s2000 cars is what happens when and if the group N cars start beating the s2000 cars?
