So i was having a conversation with some friends about tube chassis, when i think tube chassis, i think 2 things, Buggy's and Rally Cars... then i heard someone talk about the compass and then my mind blew up...

Could you imagine taking a tube chassis like all the rally cars, and slapping the compass body panels to it, slap in a Caliber SRT4 turbo 2.4L into it and a rally tuned suspension... It would be the only way id take a compass into the woods lol...

I grew up near New Richmond... and have lots of roads perfect for rally on the north shore NB... im almost entertaining the thought of this as a crazy project car...

im be honest even that would be a stretch for me and a compass man i hate those things they are so ugly

but just think of tearing thru the woods at 120mph, and hitting jumps and all that good stuff...

To be honest, I think Mike would drive a K car if it would go fast enough HAHAHAHA!

give me a roll cage and a 5 point harness, and i'll give you a show!

im bored, i think it would be fun... im wondering how hard it would be to get a front end collision compass thats been written off because the frame is bent, cut off all the body panels, order new fenders, and slap it to a tube chassis with rally tuned suspension, add a high horsepower turbo charged motor, crazy driver... and GO!

the only negative i can see about the compass is that the back is a little bit taller than a car... but still... it would be the only way you could get me into one, and i think it would make for a hell of a ride

Time for you to go get a job Mike, you've obviously got way to much time on your hands.
Mind you it probably would be a pretty wild ride. Chrysler might even be able to sell some of those things to other people than yuppies.

Your right dan... im loosing my feckin mind down here...

gotta give the office a call friday about a job, get some money together, and heading back north... and hopefully right out west.

Next you'll be telling us about your ideas about an SRT Liberty...

CrazyWJ242

ohh now im crazy...but a SRT liberty... well...
HAHA...

no really, take a compass shell rollcage plus beefed up SRT4 powerplant from the caliber, add some rally suspension and that would be a hell of a ride...

i think its cause i ran into Dave Mirra the other day... and rally is something i've wanted to get into but jeeps are my thing ya know...

Back would not be that high, you need downforce on the back anyway so you'd have to add a wing, I think you'd be OK. I don't know, man, sounds like a lot of fun but I still think a Citroen looks the best for jumps :-)
