The "whistling pig" smile.gif It was the last rear wheel drive rally car to win consistantly in the WRC. If it weren't for this car's sucesses in Africa in the WRC, Toyota would have never given the go ahead for the GT-Four wink.gif

cuz it was the original cars...but wow. I love that car. I wish i had that amount of time/$ to invest into my 3rd gen. But i must say, one of toyota's best race cars, and one of the craziest motors toyota has built.
Thats amazing, I once had the Radio control model of that car, I also liked the old group B audi they had there. Mad
