Hey, I might just go all-Italian next year...
A friend o mine been developing the Lancia in the pics below. I know it doesn't look like much, but there's a lot under the skin of this car...
18" OZ knock-ons, upgraded brake lines, callipers & rotors - latest technology as in touring cars, 300hp turbo motor, 950kg's, wide body, etc, etc... He want's to swap me for my Porsche 928 track car and I'm seriosly thinking about it, considering track time and fun versus the money. Besides, this thing should be a real Porsche A$$-kicker on track?
What do you think - Should I do it?

That's already one hot looking Lancia, Pierre! Definitely higher quality construction than the white one we saw at the Best of France & Italy show.

If you tell someone in the U.S. that you drive a Monte Carlo, unfortunately here's what they'll probably be thinking of.
