	Wait what? R5's are RWD?! Though I'm guessing this is just the early ones that are.

	People assume a longitudinal engine means RWD - but no, was a popular configuration on many early FWD cars.....with the box either in front, behind, or in the case of some saabs, underneath the engine...I think some caddys even had it at the side driven by a belt/chain...

	Nice! I'm interested to know what that box of electrickery is with "Racing" writen on it. Progressive nitrous controller? There's something about the shape of Phase 1 R5's that I really like. Just really simple.

	I like this one alot. Strangely enough, the "hit it with the stick and some period rimmage" doesn't even come to mind right now.
