My bet is with funked's flying machine on a twisty track, especially if modded to the value of a Porsche or M5.

never watched the WRC have you Rip.

last i saw no bmw's even in the wrc, the STI is a rally car, ie. ice, dirt, gravel, and asphalt. And it is meant to turn.

These two cars were bone stock...now if they were to mod them...but what for?

Narsus, you won't find too many BMW's or Porsches on gravel

What I meant rip, is that a stock Porsche is about 3 times more expensive than a stock Scooby, and the M5 2-3 times.

So you'd have to mod the Scooby to an equivalent price value for fairness.

Money? Money is no object when you seek fun, son.

You'd probably end up with a Scooby with Porsche or BMW suspension parts on it

Sabine is the Driver I believe. Oh, the the Porsche is a 996 GT3.

Hi,

if I'm not totally wrong, it's the old Nürburg Ring track, the Nordschleife.

Yep, and you can take the Ring taxi if you'd like.

Rip, you get these off Bimmerforums? Great vid's - yes the camera car is a 996 GT3, and yes thats an M5, and yes thats a woman driver in it, and yes its the old ring.

Oh... and on asphalt the WRX is rather twitchy.
