yeah, as you REALLY got any fucking idea about this Chip

stop picking at things constantly, you like to always be right and like people to think you know everything, but when you talk about stuff you dont really know about, your not, so dont.
do what I and everyone does when its a subject they no expert on, shhhh

so they use totally different courses on rallys ever year do they? esp when the the stage distance and is incredibly, some would say almost magically, similar?

and conditions, yeah, your right once again

36th International Swedish Rally
Round 2 of the FIA World Rally Championship 1986
Stage surface: Snow and ice covered gravel or ice

41st International Swedish Rally
Round 2 of the FIA World Rally Championship 1992
Stage surface: Snow and ice covered gravel or ice

I just went through more results, and the only other one with similar miles is interesting too...

The 6R4s BEST ever GrpB result...

35th Lombard RAC Rally
Round 12 of the FIA World Rally Championship 1986
Distance: 2538 km including 517 km over 45 special stages
Stage surface: Gravel with some asphalt on the first day
Tony Pond: MG Metro 6R4: 5:30.14

Versus the best placed Pulsar (not podium, 6th i think) a fair few years later...

48th Lombard RAC Rally
Round 14 of the FIA World Rally Championship 1992
Distance: 2596.53 km including 565.41 km over 34 special stages
Stage surface: Gravel with some asphalt on the first day
Tommi Mäkinen: Nissan Sunny GTI-R: 5:35.07

The Pulsar, after 50odd more km stage time, and that top mount that if it wasnt there itd make the fair a fairly good GrpN car (even tho it won GrpN as is ), was only 5mins slower than the 6R4 over 5.5hrs worth of driving.

Or did they make rallying super easy in later years Chip? Mustve predicted the future, knew you was about to have some ill thought out argument on the net about it so thought theyd help you?

Mid-field GrpB cars from the mid 80s would destroy even a leading GrpA car from the 90s, never mind a crappy Pulsar yeah?
