Yep, Just started racing it right B4 covid started. It was my Ex's daily. I had mentioned to Yac that I had a few of these (all sticks) and took this one to the track. I was worried that I was going to splatter the transaxle all over the starting line. Waste of worry.

No Racer in their right mind would build a FWD Stocker! What's wrong with you people? ;-)

FWD, RWD or 4WD I don't think many of us here are in our right minds...

Been 15+ years since I raced this one, put it back on the street for daughter to drive and now it's my daily driver.

Thanks guys. love seeing the FWD rides.

I agree this is very interesting thread. My son has a 1995 Eagle Talon AWD turbo and in stock form nearly runs the BF/S index. I would suspect there is a lot of potential in these 4G63 turbo cars. The early 1990s DSM cars came with a bigger turbo so likely even easier to run quicker. Great thread and I look forward to learning more about these unique fwd combos!
