12321 yah i remember the older wrx/sti jgtc cars were RWD. if AWD is now allowed to compete in Super GT why hasn't anyone brought out an EVO to compete with that Cusco STi or an EVO with a V8 to compete in the 500 group?

It's really hard to lay off those Ebbro diecasts, I have a small collection myself, would've blown in numbers if not for a glare and a raised eyebrow from the "commander" =D... Envy envy envy ;)

if i'm not mistaken isn't the Cusco SuperGT STi converted for RWD? aren't the rules for SuperGT require RWD cars only? I could be wrong because I'm basing this off of the rules from JGTC but i figure the rules are very similar still.

also, i remember a long time ago when the JTCC series fell through someone here in the states bought and shipped over the TOM's JZX jtcc car. Anyone know what happened to it? it appeared at a few shows back in the mid to late 90's a long with the NATCC series Honda Accords but i never saw them afterwards.

Seing Müller's BMW mixed in there reminded me...

MANABU ORIDO IN THE WTCC!!! YEAH!!!

I didn't notice him much watching the (2nd) Race on TV, but he got 17th place which is pretty good!
