Oh, and best sound IMO:

1) Audi
2) S4 (twincharged cloud9 )
3) The rest.

The RS200 is my favourite of the group B cars though, not sure why, just always liked them.

Best sound is between the Audi and the 6R4, i personally prefer the 6R4, just because it was so different!
Audi was by far the most prominent on the stages back then.
A driver I admired,but he wasn't the greatest, was Timo Salonen. he did winthe championship twice.
I would love to drive one of those cars, just to feel the raw power. Pity the FIA would be too afraid to let something epic like Group B unfold again.
I'm on a rant here too, when are they going to run the WRC in GB? As opposed to Wales!?!? I wdn't mind the extortianate fees as much if I didn't have to go to South Wales!

Where is Wales if not in Great Britain? Do you mean the rally should be in England?

What is the squeeky squeeky noise that modern rally cars make?

Im pretty sure you're on about the anti lag system there Mr.Thyroid. basically a system that means the effects of the turbo are almost instant when the driver welds his foot to the floor. It works by circulating hot waste gasses through a turbine system whenever the driver lets his foot off the throttle, these hot gasses keep the turbo spinning, and keep the pressure up, so that the next time the driver buries the throttle, his turbo is at full pressure, ready to work to its full potential! Without this system you get the experience of put5ting your foot down, waiting a second or so, and then the boost from the turbo, whichis why i keep in the turbo range just before i overtake It works, even in a Golf TDI!
