If so, trading the 4.0 Jeep to purchase a Miata is sort of like dividing by zero around here.

Can't see the tail lights with the stacked spoiler in the way. Not sure how it can compete in the tarmac stages (which requires visible lights).

Wonder if it's even road legal. I guess it must be, somehow, seeing as it has a licence plate.

It was actually BF Goodrich. The FIA seems to have something against anything Michelin, who owns BF Goodrich, ever since what happened at the USGP. lol

I was expecting to see the facelifted front on the rally car too. How odd... Edit: Oh and they changed to Pirellis. Actually, wasn't Pirelli away for a while.
BTW, funny how last year Ford ran BFGoodriches on gravel and asphalt and on snow they used Michelins. In reality, as both brands are under the same group, they just renamed Michelins to BFGoodriches in everything else but snow rallies.Modified by Son of a B...5er! at 12:17 AM 1-19-2008

Pirelli has become the sole supplier to WRC per the FIA If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.

. The paint scheme really just doesn't look good to me, but I'm sure its performance will make up for any shortcomings the painters brought to the table.
. I think the tire wars (and competition in racing overall) is nothing but a plus for us consumers and don't like how the FIA seems to be taking much of the innovation out of racing.
