And in those days, there were giants in the earth…

Filed under: Car Stuff, Batshit Insanity, Videos

The car - a 600-horsepower Group B Audi S1 Quattro.

The driver - Walter Rohrl

Any wonder why this class only lasted from 1982 to 1986?

The TechWeasel Manifesto:

My goal is to provide clear information on technical subjects related to cars, both import and domestic. The cheapest, best way to improve your vehicle's performance is to understand how it works in the first place. The organic control module has a wide range of adjustment, so before you start spending a lot of money to go faster, it pays to make sure that the problem isn't somewhere between the steering wheel and the seat. TechWeasel, in addition to being a shrine to my growing Cult of Personality, is a place where enthusiasts can learn the basics that everyone else assumes you already know, and to ask the questions that you fear will earn you sneers at the tuner's shop or at the races. Remember: There are no stupid questions, but there are people who think an intake and coffee-can sized exhaust will make a Civic run 13's. - Paul Huizenga
