[s-cars] RE: Wouldn't the TT make a good rally car?

Just do a quick google.ca search for "Sprongl" pages in Canada. The first one
listed was:

http://www.rsq.qc.ca/photos2.htm[1] - if you go down past half-way on the
right side there's a nice shot of them past the crest of a hill. The front
wheels are 4' off the ground and the rears are about 3' in the air. Very
impressive.
Btw, it's an S2, not an RS2 - sorry.
