It's possible. If I recall correctly, Jaguar had a rally XJS.

IMO any audi could be put into a rally...

the e34 would be bad because its rwd and heavy. though would e34xi be interesting

still heavy
you'd have to turbo the fuck out of it to keep up with everyone

I'm thinking of striping the E34 but I'm afraid that it's going to be really loud and a pain while on DD duty.

Ask Bimmer540i, he's stripping a 525i

i mixed up with the 4000 and the 5000..
its still doable with a 5000 but the 4000 is the perfect car to get into the rally scene. t5 engine conversions are soo cheap too

You see that would be OK wiht an e34 on that course. Because of the weight it would have been sooo much slower and would have been the only one to make the turn and thus to win the race.

Of course I am kidding, the e34 is just not suited for rally, ene the 525iX would be a far stretch. There is a reason the e30 is a prime candidate.

It's true, I've watched that video so many times. If only I could drive like that

Ah, I never realized that he was locking up all 4 wheels but now that totally makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out

I asked this same question at the beginning of my build. Find a good lead on appropriate shock/spring setup and I will do it. Need a stance like this...http://www.hotrodder.com/billsbros/camaro.jpg

I really wish I could find the website, but a few years back I ran across an e32 750il Highline with about 550 hp due to Nitrous. The guy who owned it rally raced it just because people said he couldn't.
