    I have a dream...

    ...that one day I'll be able to drive my yet to be built Stratos like the one at 28 secs in this video...





    Serious question, what do I need (apart from developing some talent ) to power slide a Stratos out of a corner? I'm talking about power/ torque, LSD etc


    Will a bog standard 2.5 Alfa V6 have enough grunt? Do I need a 3.0, a 3.2? Will it need to be breathed on (different cams, bottom end etc)?

    Does a Stratos have too much traction in dry conditions to power slide?


    The Stratos has a reputation for swapping ends quite quickly, is that deserved when talking about driving on dry Tarmac? I defer to my learned Forum friends.

    I'm building a Stratos to have some fun and what could be more fun than power sliding a Stratos ?
