Enough about this and back to the topic at hand.
Now Brian (sorry Carlos..I thought you had a different user name now...my fault) knows there are different classes of Rally cars.
Also, who cares if both cars are green and white.
Both projects were so top secret and none of the teams knew about what each team was doing etc.

I always known you as racerxa....
The car will be at Toyoyta HQ today for a car show.
It will be at SEMA as well.
We get to keep the car for 1 year.
I am sure you'll see it at a show.
You should check out the detail work Dave, Denny, Paul, Carl, Keith had put into this car.
Like Dave said....we built it to be different knowing we are taking a chance and not apealling to the mases as opposed to something that has been done before....
Scinergy's car was off the hook ..hats of to them.
To be honest with you, I had a feeling we weren't going to win due to the fact not everyone will like a rally inspired vehicle and knew that from day 1.
Most like a lowered car with a nice kit, full interior, sounds etc.....
But we always like to be different and willing to take chances.....
I really had no involvement in the build process (with execption to getting the brakes from JBT) but these guys mentioned above blew me away.
All the parts on the car are working units and are functional...this car can be driven in a Junior Rally series if allowed to do so (Jef...what do you say..)
I hope that with X-Games incorporating Rally racing just this year....the rally scene will be huge as it is in Europe and Asia.
Also...I am glad they built this rally car because it is a tribute to Jim Farley (one of the pioneers of Scion and former VP). In a interview he did awhile back, he wanted to see a Scion rally vehicle....the new VP Mark Templin loved the rally xA and I was really happy to see all the folks from Scion Corporate checking out the car and were much in awe on this concept.
When you see the car at a show check out the ride and step into the car for a closer look.

Now That I know more about rally (which I love BTW*) That car is a lot cooler to me. I deff wan to see it at a show, to take a close look at it.
*I said I love Rally, not that I know anything about it, other than the 4WD/AWD high power cars are FAST!

The build has been awesome!
Congrats to Scinergy for taking the honors!
Thanks to Verone, Jeff Bal, Mark Templin and the rest of Scion Corp for this amazing opportunity. None of this coulld have happened without you guys.
Thanks to all the support from SE Worldwide and the SE build team for a great time. I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else.
We had a great time on this build, I learned a thing or two, tried a thing or two, and taugh a thing or two. I hope everyone had a great experience. I also learned new words like "stuffs" and "aaeehhH!"
On a side note, please do take a good look at the car and take a look at all fine, functional (scoop, gauges, swtches. etc. etc)detail work that was put into the car. The video didn't show nearly all the cool stuff on the interior and also our turnable wasnt turning) There were a lot of late late hours put into it. All the way up to the morning of rollin (8:30am Wed). Dave is a machine.

The car will be at EAF this weekend in support of Leslie Durst/Scion Racing Team/SE Member and it will be on display at Longo's Farewell Event in honor of Verone, who helped get this project approved with Jeff.
BTW, Jeff, I finally saw your screen name, now that you revealed yourself, you'll probably change it.
Our Rally car was on display today at the Toyota Motor Corp Campus and then went on tour to Scion Corp Campus. It is now on its touring phase, hopefully soon on the racing phase? Uh, Jeff?

We brought the car out today for the Annual 'Octoberbeast' Car Show inside Toyota headquarters. A lot of employees were in awe when they saw it. Too bad I forgot my camera at home so I was not able to take pictures.
Anyway the SE Rally car will be at the Longo Show on Sunday. Please do come and check it out. It might also be at the Scion VIP show in Pomona on sunday morning.

Thanks to everyone on both teams for their vision, long hours and dedication to the Scion brand and constant positive image to the Scion name. I am happy to be part of the premier Scion club and to be part of the first So Cal teams to be presented with this build.
