I know that AWD was discussed jokingly but I thought everyone appreciated this car for it's RWD roots.

AWD would spoil this car for what it's designed to be: LIGHT, tossable, balanced and able to drift!

but the point of the car is to have fun and slide, i.e drift. Why would you want a wider wheel and tire for more traction then? Sorry I feel retarded right now for asking but thanks for the simple answer. |

Even in drifting they put wider tires too. Most of drift cars have more hp then stock ones which require more traction = wider wheels/tires |

Thing between the resonator and Cat, it's somewhat box looking, what is that? It appears to be part of the exhaust system but ive never seen anything like it.
