I think people are voting on heritage as opposed to looks... come on, I know it is subjective but the hawkeye is so much better looking than the others.

I looked for ages and couldnt find them, rare as rockin horse ****...

Made by Speedline Corse for competition, only in magnesium 8 x 17. Ive seen a few scoobs wearing them competing on local rallies but non would part with them. lol.

I even went through phoning all the rally prep companies that run grp A scoobs to no avail.

In the end i settled with a new Speedline Corse version, granted not as nice but a pukka competition wheel all the same.

My point exactly, this is not supposed to be about how they performed but about how they look.

Simply that all WRC cars are left hand drive (not just scoobs). Most of the rallies are in countries where they drive on the right, and remember that for every mile of special stage, theres normally 2 or 3 that have to be done on the public road to get there.

Good thread, I started a similar one on ISN a couple of months ago to see what the response was, 22B won out in the end. Thread here;

SWRT through the ages! - .:ImprezaSport.net Forums:.=

For me it absolutely has to be the Impreza 555 without question, because it was the looks and noise of that car (which, incidentally, it is also easily the best sounding of ALL of the cars on this thread) along with a bit of help from a certain Mr McRae, that made me fall in love with these cars in the first place!
