I've been trying to talk my nephew out of buying an A4 and to get Quatro Coupe. The Quatro Sport is still very expensive but the lower model look to be great toys.
On the Group B model; can you imagine driving on dirt and ice with 1000hp? |

Well they didn't call 'em the killer B's for nothing...
I always wondered what happened to those machines. Nice to see someone still plays with 'em... -Josh2 |

They put them in the Audi museum. I remember reading a write up on that little excursion in Road and Track or something, the guy driving is one of the factory drivers from when the car was cmpaigned. I think they called them killer B's because they tended to kill people. 1000hp and ice is not a good combo, though it sounds pretty good to me. |

Group B cars are awesome! I got to crew for Mach 2 Racing at the 2004 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. They ran a Ford RS200 with Stig Blomqvist driving. The car was making 700-900 hp depending on boost. The engine builder spent the previous week at Le Mans with one of the prototype cars. We won the unlimited class.
