yeah. i've got more rally footage (none with the Group B/Group S Mr2) than i can shake a stick at... but, that car is something very special to me and always will be...
btw - that VW is damned impressive...
though, i doubt it could take a turn at the speeds that engine could produce...

and my personal favorite...
and lets put the nail in the coffin...
a snippet of an article comparing the Ferrari F40 vs the McLaren F1:
"But while the F40's engine is waiting for its wake-up call at 4,000 rpm, the McLaren has already gotten up, had breakfast, read the paper and left for work. It pulls from no revs and keeps on pulling until your ears can't take any more. There's precious little flywheel effect from the BMW V12 and consequently little opportunity to return your right hand to the steering wheel between shifts. Accelerator-clutch-accelerator-clutch-acclerator-clutch-accelerator. More accelerator. The clutch is heavy and the shift action is heavy but positive. The F1 sounds like nothing else on earth, a banshee wail of induction noise and straight-cut gears.
The hard data backs up the F1's crushing aural superiority. The F40's solid 12-second effort in the sprint to 125 mph is beaten hollow by the F1's shattering 9.4-second display, a simple matter of more muscle and thus a better power-to-weight ratio."
