Mmmm Group B :drool: Yes, the RS200 is a rally car, from the good(bad) old days of group B in the mid to late 80s. They had to ban them because they were becoming a safety hazard, to the drivers and spectators. Several drivers and spectators were killed before the class got the axe. There's nothing like 2000lb cars putting out 600hp with no downforce to ensure maximum speed :D

By any chance do you know what happened to the Lancia Stratos that was my favorite cause of the mid rear quality.

same thing. no group b. now the main class is group A (or N for our canadian driver! go Pat!). the thing is that they are getting up to the speeds of the b's now. not there for a while, but its comming! 300hp, over 550 ft/lbs of torque. uhhhhh
