    That's a 3.5l V6, related, but not the same.

    Rear drive, being rear/mid engined they have a nice balance. Not sure about the transverse transaxle setup, but there is a decent following and after market for them .... plus they seem to be dirt cheap around here.
    Did you know that the 1mz-FE 3.0 v-6(think Camry v6) is nearly a bolt-in
    into one of these. There are a few companies making swap kits for this,
    that would be a wicked little car.

    Group 2 is a RWD class and competes in-class. Let's not talk about the Diplomat, shall we? Still a very sore subject around here.

    The 'velle would be to heavy for that small of an engine ...

    Actually Remy...you have the perfect rally car.....it lacks a real healty engine,and some better suspension pieces,but its a real good candidate..the Chevelle!!.

    I would have had no problems with driving that one in a rally..its one of the best american sedans when it comes to handling and parts availabilty..yeah,its heavier than a Rabbit,but so what,Its bangshift approved x 3537789 .

    mustang II would be a good choice engine wise, theres a number of engine choices you can go with - 2.3 NA, 2.3 SVO, NA small blocks then power adders.

    Easy to get suspension parts for since theres so many peeps that use mustang II on various hot rod projects. Sounds like a good choice to me

    The VW Rabbits are running with some success, as is a CRX that has no idea what valve float is, but again, I have very little experience with FWD and dirt. Chevette would be interesting. Maybe even a 3800-swapped Fiero?
