I have a soft spot for the Lancia Delta's, it is everything VW should have done with the Rallye.

Agreed. I nearly bought one after i wrote off my first mk2...

Pretty sure its a train supercharger or something along those lines.. is what i was told not 100% sure

As i previously stated.....

No. That's the real deal. The guy runs 10.5 outlaw. That blower is off a train engine. They actually made a manifold for it and everything! Got it all to run.. Fired it up, it idled fine.. Rapped the throttle once and it spat both head gaskets! hahaha.

Don't make me quote myself again!

I've read it in an email straight from the guy that runs that Camaro. It's run by him and his old man. There's a Youtube clip about when he had a wheeliebar failure. They interviewed him about that and he talks about how they did it and what happened. I can't be arsed finding the clip, but its there somewhere. Search something like "10.5 Outlaw camaro" or "camaro wheelie bar failure".

Amazing engineering in those cars!

Realy? I heard that most of their cars where prity badly engineered, although they where amazing they didnt last long, apart from the Delta and a couple others.

They're primarily race cars, designed to last until the end of the race before being massaged by an army of mechanics.

As for doubting the engineering, the Lancia Stratos it took the Manufacturer's title three years in a row, the first car designed and manufactured specifically for rallying. The Lancia Delta Integrale won the constructors' title six years in a row from 1987 to 1992, and has the most WRC wins of any car (46).

If you still have your doubts.....

Its just what i saw or read somewhere, I did say apart from the Delta and a couple of others and i did say they where amazing, pay attention dude
Thay did make other cars aswell, but many people dont know about them because they were full of fail road cars. The had the first production V8 sedan or something along thouse lines but it was pox.
They might be great race cars but the Integrale still has pedals that arnt infront of the driver

apologies for the poor photo.

this was my little toy for a few years



I spent nearly $25k on mods including a fully rebuilt engine with just about everything, even silly little things like sodium filled valves, and a nice big Garrett turbo.

Started with 70KW and finished with 280KW (when the damn thing worked!!)
