Just checking, and not to be a killjoy here, but this is the same Eliseo "I never met a wall I didn't hit at Indy" Salazar right? How old is he? I can only pray that he is clear on the drill....You are a glorified tow truck...... I can't wait for the beginning to the rally. Hopefully Rob gives "em a run for their money. I'd love nothing more than to see him win it.

I thought Robby's engine was LS7 based, i.e 7.0 liters? I know they never say officially, but doesn't he make more than 300hp? Also, only 18" of travel? Does this second car have different specs or are they just not giving out the real numbers?
