That was my point exactly! The engine alone on the WRX World Rally Car costs 100,000 Pounds (which is like $150,000). The suspension costs about over $20,000 per corner for a total of well over $80,000.

The idea was that a car like that is EXPENSIVE. The X, with a long-travel suspension, some engine mods, and some good tires can do some fun Prerunning/Baja Style driving. It will cost less in the long run, and will be much more useful around town.

That's my opinion at least. smile

Notice that nowhere did I say that a 2wd is as capable at rockcrawling or general offroading as a 4wd. But, where are you going to get the long-travel suspension for a 4wd? You would be buying new CV joints and axle shafts every week.
All I am saying is that the 2wd has some applications that are more suited to it than to 4wd.
