Pffft, not with a Turbo AND a Supercharger
And 4 wheel drive, and light weight...Nah Modern F1 cars aint my thing
The Lotus 79 is the best F1 car ever...The Lancia Delta S4 was a good car.
However the 205T16 E2 , Audi Sport Quattro A2 and RS200 Evo were faster.
It should be noted that even with the limited power (320-380 BHP depending on who you talk to) of a modern WRC car they are MUCH faster then the fastest Grp.B ever were.
The advances in 4WD and active differentials spell the difference.

The Delta S4 was superior to the Quattro (It suffered from bad understeer) and was marginally better the the T-16. The RS200 would thrash it though...
Id like to see the Group B monsters up against WRC spec cars...

No way Fangio was a master and was still whooping there asses as an old man
In 1957 at Nurumberg (at the age of 40) he started with a low fuel load and built a teriffic lead in his Maserati, only to lose more than double that advantage (1 min 48secs in total) in a disastrous pit stop. He set off and stll beat Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins in their Ferraris,

Yep that was a great race. To be honest though the Nordschleiffe is an extremely long track and it took him about 30 mins (about 3 laps worth) to catch and pass them. Still amazing though.
Gilles was far better though...ever see the 1979 (i think thats the year?) French GP at Dijon? Best single duel between two drivers in the history of motor racing...Gilles was so damned fast...

Yep. All versions. Because the engine was ahead of the front axle it gave it terrible understeer. The problem was somewhat rectified with the introduction of the S1, but that only won one rally.

Yep, the P34. The reson for its 6 wheels was in an effort to reduce frontal area, and therefore drag. It wasnt terribly effective, but the handling of the cars was superb. Only ever managed one win though.

I think the FIA banned the concept in any case.

Most probably. They ban anything that makes the cars faster, health and safety is all very well but it makes it extremely dull. (I can still merrily watch a whole grand prix with total interest though).
