It was a joke. Look at the layout, just like the LS powered RZRs it'd basically mean losing the rear seats, 4wd etc. and basically just making an ugly sand rail with a crappy chassis.
Well, at least the Speed chassis isn't as crappy as a RZR so I'd rather have an LS in the Speed. But seriously, you basically get the worst of both worlds: you lose what makes SxSs good (anybody can drive them, 4wd) and add what makes sand rails bad (expensive, fragile transaxles).

Robby would do that when he was 16-17 in his car... great photos....but always broke 2 miles later. That stuff looks good but there is no way that car can take that the whole race.
It was qualifying, which is almost more important than race pace since the rock sections turn into traffic jams quickly.
With the dead tubes and lack of proper suspension geometry I kept waiting for the car to snap in half.
What is the reasoning to something like that in a race? Advantage, strategy :dunno:
Honestly don't know what their reasoning is, but when I race, I typically request a rear start. I prefer to hunt, rather than be hunted.
Why would they want to do that? The trail tampons will be in full effect by then.
LOL. Too bad a certain someone isn't here to post crash pics to show how weak it is. :biggrin:
