Default Re: Suzuki SX4 WRC

Suzuki was in the WRC for just two years, primarily with Tony Gardemeister behind the wheel, before pulling out at the end of last season, as did Subaru by the way. They were just starting to gain some success in the series, too, but apparently the economic downturn forced them to kill the team. But I had no idea you could actuallly buy a similarly equipped car for road use. Are you sure the one they were asking $24k for was equipped with a 320HP engine? I can't imagine how they could sell it for that price - that's their full race prepped engine and the cost would be prohibitive for public sale.
