I've taken both Mk1 and Mk2 Roccos out on practice stages. I much prefer the
Mk1 in general and for rally for the same reasons. They are lighter and have
shorter front and rear overhangs. For a rally car, you'll ideally want about a
100" wheelbase and not much hanging in front or back. All that does is
increase the polar moment and whack trees easier... As for ride height, there
all potentially the same.
