Can someone fill my in on the Group B Toyota Celicas? How different were they from the regular Celica of the time period?

This is awesome
In reply to EvanB:
That was the planned MR2 based replacement.
The Whistling Pig? I love those cars.
Used a 4T-GTE, which was a turbo 2.0 or 2.2L DOHC that made something like 450hp in low-boost trim and over 600 in high boost. It's my understanding that to this day, it's still the fastest RWD rally car ever made, if not the fastest 2WD.

Thanks for the new wallpaper!
I would love to do a replica but the grill and bumpers are completely different and they look like a pain to make.
Once again proving that box flares do make everything awesomer.
The only things you need to know about Group B
Love that 5 zylinder turbo sound 
And if i remember correctly, wasnt the LDI Twincharged?
The Delta S4 was twincharged - that's it in the picture I believe. The Integrale was turbocharged only.
I have bodywork molds for the early MR2 that will make it look like a group B car.
In person the RS200 is awesome, about the size of the 1st gen MR2, but lower! Don't know the specs on the Celica, but if it was a group B car, it's nothing like a stock example. Think of them as the F1 equivalent of a rally car. So fast they were banned.
There's a good Celica Group B restoration at www.MAT.fi. They also have a few Lancia restos and the Cosworth-powered Model A with the misfire switch. Do not venture over there unless you have much free time.

Which Lancia was the turbo and S/C one. R&T did a write up on it in the 80's I think.
Did my own research. Lancia Delta S4 was T/C and S/C 550 hp. It only ran for the last two years of Group B.
They look even better in person!
Great collection in Vegas circa '06.

oh hell yes. The 037 is awesome. Someday I would love to have one of the street cars. As much as I like the race car, I think the production version almost looks better.
was that at the Imperial Palace?
