I've seen two examples of that at local autocross, and doing exactly as you were talking about. Small trailer with tools and four tires, no cruft in the car itself. Best of both worlds!

Now if it was a Class 4 equalizing hitch? Yeah, I'd question the driver's sanity.

^Ive seen plenty of odd cars with that at autocross - Minis, miatas, even the odd Z06

Personally id say its more of a performance mod... being able to drag your tools & r compounds to the track


Have to admit, it looks pretty funny to see a Z06 pulling anything at all behind it

Thats why I own a truck too....

here is my contribution.
I saw one of these on the road and said "It would be awesome if it was attached to the throttle and as hard as he presses the throttle the thing would spin" Sure enough he went and that thing turned like a top. When he let off it slowed down. There are a bunch on google one I saw was green but same car and looked identical.

lol, we got the thread deleted....

Something abut that site bothers me... I'm sure some of the people on there are nice, but it seems like most of them would be posers or ******** with money who buy that stuff with no other reason but to show off.

tht 2 tone pink one is half rx7 (fd) and half rx8 it pretty legit
