Build story
The goal is to (on a budget) build something like what AMC may have built to homologate the SX/4 for group b rally. AMC being AMC, I think it'd be build from a hodge podge of parts bins stuff with a big turbo bomb of an engine, and a surprisingly good chassis. Inspiration comes from the Spirit AMXs that won class at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring in 1979, and from the Spirit AMX Turbo concept that made 450hp from a 258ci I6 with a turbo and Porsche CIS injection.
