mhoward1 0 Posted June 5, 2012 Where is the rest of the roll cage? It has the same cage design as the challenge cars. Ther is a bar under the dash and full impact bars on the side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

z06tracker 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Very tempting. What class would this run in? But, I don't think I could get used to an open top car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cooper93 0 Posted June 7, 2012 Looks like a fun car for the March event at RA when it's raining, hailing and a twister is bearing down on you! Little sticker on the side says ST2-R ?? Not sure how accurate that is, but I'd spring for one, WITH the halo bar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how accurate that is, but I'd spring for one, WITH the halo bar. Looks like with a 100% stock WRX 2.0 it would be STR-2 with a little wiggle room. With the 2.5 or either of the STI motors it would be moved to STR-1 unless you detune them. Weighing in at 1800 lbs means power would be low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mhoward1 0 Posted June 18, 2012 The whole ST-2R was done on purpose so they could HINT at a class. BTW, Jim had some great posters of the 818-R this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbrew8991 0 Posted June 18, 2012 just what we need, more classes for one or two cars when there's already a great place for them to play with many others Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooper93 0 Posted June 21, 2012 Since it supports a Subaru drivetrain, one can easily throw the 2.5RS package in there and run a totally different class. My RS put 128hp down. Wonder what class it would end up in then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbrew8991 0 Posted June 21, 2012 being non-production or tube frame based it'll be in STR somewhere, just depends on final adjusted whp/weight numbers between STR-2 (8.70), STR-1 (5.50) or SU (unlimited). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
