Well every racing series clips a car's wings with rules. So I guess they go as fast as they can within the limits of their governing body. But that doesn't roll off the tongue now does it.

See this is how racing gets ruined: pedantry! "Race cars get a pass on pretty much everything because they have exactly one purpose: go as fast as they can, within the limits established by their governing body, unless they're cheating and haven't been caught yet." Does that cover it? Anything else need added or can we go to vote?

Best quote from that jalopnik articlequote:You guys do not know Chris on a personal level. He started his business with nothing. … The only concern here is the type of stuff he said and the type of person this makes him,” Paris wrote. “Obviously I am very upset and hurt of what he said to Dominic Lebron. Dom is a great work friend and that is strictly it. You don't know him on a personal level, all we're concerned about are his personal statements which reflect who he is on a personal level. Also, his statements are upsetting but we're JUST WORK FRIENDS I SWEAR and also he started his business with nothing so give him a break! like, I'm impressed how many different excuses for different things are shoehorned into one statement.

Wrong thread. Those were designed around stuffing a conversion van with a souped up motor and then the bed would allow the use of a 5th wheel/gooseneck trailer. Centurion made a ton of really cool poo poo, including the C-350, an alternate timeline Suburban:

My auto shop teacher in high school had one of those 5th wheel van conversions to pull his drag car hauler. His was wider and taller from the front doors back. It was cavernous. Trailer park Tardis.

Ferremit posted:Speaking of that, i was wondering the other day- With modern safety equipment and dickhead spectator standards, Could you run Group B again? The same rules? Probably not. Group B only mandated tire width and minimum weight for a given displacement. Modern tech would allow 1000+ bhp or however much is actually possible and practical to put to the ground anywhere. Diffs, transmissions and tires have also evolved a lot since the 80's and would make them even faster. Even though carbon fiber safety cells have gotten better, the trees they hit haven' gotten any softer. This is given that any manufacturer would take the development and homoligation costs, when VAG is already pulling out of WRC on cost grounds. The current World Rallycross cars are probably not too far off how a more realistic modern Group B would look, but maybe with more aero. The Audi S1 even already exists as a road car with AWD and turbo four for homoligation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhLXVRDKlvA
