Hey oppo. Someone of you may know I bought a 1999 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. However that car spun a rod bearing due to a lack of oil and a massive oil leak, so it's on the back burner for now until I can rebuild or source a new engine.

Now, this weekend I am going up to the NER Covered Bridge RallyX with Aaron Brown and Brian Silvestro. Since I don't have the impreza to run I have two options, my DD 1999 ML320 SUV (which has been approved to run by the event organizers), or my 1987 Porsche 944 (which I feel is a little too nice to submit to the perils of RallyX). I can't decide and neither can any of my friends, so I leave this up to you oppo, Which would YOU like to see tear up the vermont RallyX circuit this saturday? My 2 ton SUV or my svelte and nice 944?

I vow to run the one with the most votes in the comments.

The 944 would be more fun, but oh the potential for losing your oil pan....

Depends on the course... if the SUV is not in danger of rolling over.. its the winner. Past that unless you have a pricy suspension on the fofo... I'd rallyx the bejesus out of that. I know first hand they do well in the grass just off the racing line and ~80-100mph.

Yeah. And after having lost one car this week to oil loss, I don't know if I really would like to do that again...

Pros for 944:

fun as hell

looks cool

you'll probably win the class

Cons for 944:

RWD, so if it snows, you might have issues

most likely more fragile on unpaved surfaces than ML

Pros for ML:

AWD so it'll be fun for unpaved surfaces

if it snows, it will handle the situation better

more reliable(?)

Cons for ML:

you might flip and die

Go for the Benz, and make Jake auto crossing the Murdersofa look as flat and stable as a Formula 1 car.
