Yeah turns out group B was actually a step back! :v:

Seriously though: group 5 rallying was unique to the Giro d'Italia automobilistico. It put both track cars on rally stages and rally cars on tracks

It was pretty much Fiat/Lancia's playground and they often used it to test new concepts, like the group 5 version of the Stratos:



and the group 5 Fiat 131 (prototype for rally car Fiat 131 Abarth):



Could only find a model photo, but how cool must it have been, running across a :airquote:road legal:airquote: (it's plated isn't it?) Stratos Turbo with a spare tire strapped to the roof:



Imagine you're on the highway in your late '70s Fiat shitbox, and you find yourself in the middle of a transfer stage, and you see that coming up in your mirrors :allears:

I guess so. Probably a replica but rad regardless -most likely coming back from Wakefield (race track).

Can someone handy with Photoshop do me a favor? I wanna see if the SLS' proportions shore up if it loses some of the long, unsculpted hood.


I feel like that span from in front of the shark gill to the front wheel well could be taken down to just a couple of inches, and the car would be more proportional. As it is now the trunk is sooo much shorter that it looks unbalanced.

I'd be remiss if I didn't point out there's a turbodiesel 505 wagon selling out of Washington tomorrow that maybe someone wants to get in on:

I sent that to an old high school friend. Her mom had a 505 wagon I got to drive occasionally, sure beat the poo poo out of my Lynx hatch.

Some company in the Uk is building kit cars based on 80s shitboxes now.

The body looks cool, but unfortunately, it seems the chassis used for them is that of an MGF-based beach buggy, rather than what I expected, which would be something to build up from bits of a cheap A4 or A6.

Ha! in France they have a whole racing class for silhouette buggies (and a dozen companies like that), and it kicks all sorts of rear end:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DniMpOju42I

(the reason they have odd mixes of body parts - like Foucart's famous Peugeot 205 with a 305 face - is the rule set: they can't use an exact reproduction of a production car body)
