like i said i don't race, just every once in a while when its safe enough there is a little race here and there, but thats it. but what i think is, if i get beat by a newer SUV or a car, i don't put to much attention for it, cuz i know if we take those NEW suvs or cars offroad, they wont last to long before something in there vehicals will break or inside of them with anger, lol. i just know this is not a sports car, but does have a little kick but off road, man its a monster and only a few real vehicals can challenge it, and i mean real offroad, dakar style racing, meaning all tarrean. wrx wont make it and there fellow friends, the only challenge are really good moded real rally vehicals or home made projects made for that kind of racing. and that makes me happy to know, and know that our little beast of a VX have a monster living in side of it, .
