By that definition my truck is a race car. It's illegal as hell.

When it costs so much nobody can/wants to sink that much money into a 86?

Not in this case though. R3 rally cars are "upgraded" from stock but you can't really change the "nature" of the car, if you get what i mean.
Nothing like WRC and R5's, which are completely redesigned, keeping some resemblance to the stock model they're based on.

This will be the first RWD R3 car and i'm pretty excited about it, should be fun to watch.
Only problem i can think of is how competitive would it be against the DS3 R3T and the Clios, and unless they set up some sort of "GT86 Challenge" they won't be as attractive for the drivers.
