probably for the best...those cars were getting quite dangeous after all. There was a 1000hp audi sport quattro prototype, now thats just insane.
Though one can only imagine how it wouldd have effected ordinary road cars if group b was left intact. |

| Yeah there is a lot of speculation as to how it would have affected the road going counterparts, but we will unfortunately, never know. Although, with the number of deaths steadily increasing, it was inevitable. At some point, it was going to be too much. |

| Weren't a bunch of the cars back then still 2 wheel drive, and usually real wheel? Holy mother of God that would have been dangerous. I've seen how ed my car is when it's wet, let alone on a dirt track doing 200km/h. |

Nah rally cars were/are for the most part awd. At least the later ones.
RS200, Porsche 959, Sport Quattro, etc. |

Yes but youre driving a holden right? So its only natural that it would have ed uup handling :p
the most succesfull cars of the B group era were AWD though, Lancia 037 being the last RWD car to win the championship (the audi sport quatro with its awd was superior but surprisingly the german was much more unreliable than the italian so the championship went to lancia) |

| Yep, the car wants to move but the back wheels are happy to spin around in one spot :stongue: |

Well youre thinking of replacing your current car anyway right. Seriously, get a bmw...doesnt have to be a new one, a mid 90s 5 series should do nicely, put some decent rubber on those wheels and the only time youll loose traction then will be when you really really want to :)
Thats what i intend to do when i get some money back...but oh the eternal question, petrol or diesel, i just cant decide. Petrol would put a smile on my face any time i would take it out for a drive while diesel would be greatly appreciated by my wallet considering i drive a lot...decisions decisions... |

Yea but I change cars for free. It's a company car and I have a limited but fairly decent selection.
Plus, as if I'd buy an actual BMW. Are you kidding me? What a ing joke the BMW has become, I don't want to even be seen in a BMW let alone buy one. |
