Didn't bottom out once, exhaust stayed on and only battle scare is a broken rear strut mount. The Hoosier dirt stockers performed nicely (great traction when accelerating, not great in the turns) although I'm sure some actually rally tires would've needed about 5 seconds overall.
Definately not a car freindly endevor. It puts a hurting on everything that an autox couldn't even dream of.

Ben,
I think my car will be staying on the pavement, thank you very much  
Welcome to the world of racing induced breakage! How in the world did you break the rear strut mount?  Did you just grind a little too much away in making them fit?
-Bill
