Awesome rally machine.
A large V8 in a tiny light chassis.
Much like the 84 to 93 Ford Mustang police package.
5.0 liter V8 mounted on a light chassis.
Dangerous little car to the rookie driver with little or no skills.
I drove one.........or a we said “piloted” one.
Top speed on a closed course at 170mph.
Car was on the edge of going airborne flip due to no aero package......only a high angle banked curve kept the car on the track......no front grip.
I love rally competition so much I own two Subarus.
A WRX TR and a WRX STi....... both in Rally Pearl Blue.

I drove Mustang 5.0 year models 84, 87, 90, and 93.
The one that ran 170 was the 87 model.
Fuel injected 5 speed no limiter.
After that year model they installed a limiter slowing the car to 125.
The car had horrible aerodynamics.
No wing or splitter like the GT model.
Ours was the LX 2 door with a trunk.
Front disc and drum rear brakes.
They faded after a few hard braking leaving just downshifting to make turns and power sliding.
120 to 45 going from 4th gear to 2nd in one shift.
Rear end jumping off the ground!
Fun days!!
