Not new, no, but really far from not relevant. Just because you might not see them at your local track too often does not make the XX4we any less of a highly sought-after buggy. And new in the box, there are PLENTY of people who would give their eye teeth for one. XX4 aftermarket parts are still bringing in wildly high prices when they become available.

Overcome the fragile front arms (which can be done), and this car is still highly competitive at any level. Just because the XXX4 came after it doesn't make it a better car. Most who have owned or driven both will tell you that the XX4 was a far better car in almost every condition than the XXX4.
Come on Doug, I wasn't trashing the car (I had one, luved it) - but if it was still that relevent it would still be dominating at the Worlds. Every car is different, and every car has it's place. I never said it was worthless, or dumped in the bin.

Again, the guy asked for opinions and I gave mine just as you gave yours.
