Group B rally cars (with no techno music)

I was rofl'ing at the Ferrari 308 GTS in there!

Audi S1/Sport quattro = Greatest Rally car of all time. Don't try to disagree with me, because you're wrong.

I've driven an '85 E2 Quattro and a T16 E2 205 Pug - yes, the proper Group B race cars.

I will say categorically that while the Quattro made more power and blows the Frenchie's doors off for aural appeal, the Pug was faster, better developed and didn't drive like a ludicrously nose-heavy, old, flexing pig.

I agree that the be-winged '85 SWB Quattro is probably the "iconic" GrpB car, though.

Metro 6r4 and Lancia 037 ftw...

They would never allow cars with that kind of power back into rallying. A lot of drivers from the Group B days have said that driving those cars was terrifying, they were on the edge of control. Really watch that video, they're hardly even touching the damn ground half the time.

If you actually go to the YouTube page, there's a link in the description to download the .wmv

Great, now I need to change my pants...

awesome video though, the fire breathing Quattro is nothing short of amaizing. Too bad the M1 at 9:05 kind of disspointed...

grp. b needs a revival

Never gets old. That first shot of the guy with his hands on his head sums it up for me. I can just imagine the look of complete disbelief on his face.

Sometime I wonder if they could bring something like this back with modern driver safety and more crowd control. It might loose appeal to the retards who stood in the middle of the road, but it would still be amazing to me.

Most spectacular period of motorsports history imo

great post!
so nice to see one without stupid techno music overpowering the engines

and that quattro s1 is incredible!!

20v + 5cyl + old-school turbo/injection = epic win

I knew this was going to be posted. As soon as the tapes started to roll, I immediately got shivers up and down my spine. This was totally insane.
