Who likes Group B rally cars?

Looks like the Lane Motor Museum is going to bring their Group B MG Metro to the Mitty.

Event details and stuff: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/events/mitty13/

I had resigned myself to not coming to the '13 Mitty because chances are good I'll be on the road for most of July (driving from NC to WA, CA, CO, and back), but extras like this aren't helping.

Why, does someone NOT like them?

I don't believe it is possible to not like them.

Nice. I had a chance to see one run on an exhibition track at a UK classic race car show. Pretty impressive vehicle.

Uh, everybody?

I am super excited by this. The MG Metro 6R4 is right at the top of my all time favorite list.

Communists...Communists don't like Group B. Neither do Florists.

Except that isn't a Group B car.

People who don't like rally cars probably don't like beer and naked boobies either.

This guy likes Group B. This guy also didn't know where "The Mitty" was being held when he saw the ad in GRM. The flyer never says a city/state.

It's at Road Atlanta, in Braselton, Georgia.

I have one problem with the MG Metro 6R4. They said the V6 in it is just a Rover V8 with two jugs shaved off. Why not just the Rover V8? I suppose space is tight, but really....?

Massive head trauma.

How do you know that's not a Group B car? The original quattro was homologated first in Group 4, then Group B along with the various sport derivatives. Don't forget Group B was just the 200 off firebreathing monstors, many many cars were homologated in Group B

How can anyone not love cars from 25 years ago with manual everything that can still out-accelerate the best super/hypercars of today...

It's almost like one of the last massive performance leaps left to conquer in the automobile world...

Group B still lives on pavement and I fully endorse a Mitty Metro at Rd Atl. Moar Pleze?
