rec.autos.simulators

I'd love a sim based on the wild heyday of rallying that produced such
cars as the Audi Quattro and Porshe 959, and the Lancia Delta S4
(turbo AND supercharged!).
It's even been suggested that the Ferrari GTO was built with Group B
homologation in mind, and even had a special 650 horsepower version
called the Evoluzione.

These cars were unreal, most of them 4wd, with insane power to weight
ratios. Sort of dirt versions of the wild Can Am cars of the 70's.
A little too wild probably, as spectator and driver fatalities brought
an end to the class in May of 86.

I belive the current WRC cars are faster over a stage than the Group
B's.  Of course, it would have been interesting to see what Group B would
have evolved to with ten more years of development.

other incredible cars

Austin Metro group B 500HP , have you ever see a stock car Austin Metro ? :o)
Audi Quatro 4wd  ( 450HP )
Renault 5 turbo 2 ( 350HP )

but they killed too much pilots to survive !

  There's the Lancia Delta as well isn't there?
