Fun to watch, nice find. How many of the fast DSMs are running RWD, BTW?

To my knowledge, he's the only one. But, I could be wrong. He has the fastest eclipse in the world.

He has a 4g63, but I've been trying to figure out what transmission he is using. anyway he is not only the fastest dsm but i believe they said hes the fastest 4 cylinder in the world to date

I can only imagine the amount of time and money he has put into that thing. I can't really think of any cars faster at this point.

Thats extremly impressive, especially since he's not using nitrous at all... I wonder what turbo he has on it. Did you all read that he's building 53psi on the line? CRAAAAAAZY :screwy: lol

I saw Rau over 5 years ago when he was driving the eclipse AWD. He ripped off a 9.5 sec. pass in Denver. That's @ over 5500 feet above sea level.

Some RWDs that come to mind, bushcurs original 1g (now owned locally), the tube frame 2g (now Shep's), Plebanis and many other conquests, SBRs race car, and several others.

To me the craziest thing is both him and Shep are dominating the competition, most or all of which? are sponsored by honda, chevy, etc with $5 million+/yr budgets, tube frame gutted cars, nitrous, full race teams, etc. It's impressive to say the least that they can still win. It'd be insane to see what would happen on a level playing field!
Does anyone know of any complete articles on Shep, or Rau even, that describe why what they're doing is so insane?
