nope, no translation needed, i studied in the french side of CH for a few years and still understand french to some degree.

i miss the 80's some of the maddest cars of all time were on the roads then.

do note one thing though, no matter how great the 205T16 was, i'd still go for an RS200E any day of the week, afterall how many cars can beat a mclaren F1 off the lights?:P:P:P

He he touché!

I know your soft spot for the RS200 and who can blame you. Looking around various videos for old group B cars, one thing is strikingly evident. All of them smash the 0-60 in under 3 seconds. The Delta Integrale, Quattro and the RS200. And the biggest challenge for these cars was that they had to be able to do it everyday, all day. As unlike tuner cars, they had to perform on the rally stage. Sure, some tuner evos can go down to 2.7 something for the 0-60. But it can only do it once every 10 times. The 9 other times, something breaks...

Yikes! Didn't know about the 10 hour engine life. That's what you get for a 300 BHP/litre figure I suppose.

well said, the tuners of today need to learn alot baout reliability (another reason i supercharged my VR6's to 265-285hp instead of the mad twin turbo 400hp conversion).

i can only imagine if the "killer B's" were still alive today,... they'd have done something silly like a 2000hp citroen xsara picasso!

i bet you that soon an RS200 will be in some movie and after getting over the fact that it looks like an over-inflated 911, many pakwheelers will be praising it,.. i say good,.. ledgends should be remembered. afterall the metro 6R4 got immortality after donating it's engine to the XJ220.

I don't know about the metro, but it must have been a beast since its engine was in xj 220 :o damn

[Storm]

the 6R4 held almost ALL the acceleration records back in it's time, and the master behind the wheel was none other than rally legend Will Gollop.

The Metro sounded like no other rally car in its time. The 6R4 and the Quattro could be marked out from far way just by the sound of their engines.
