correction, it WAS a competitive rally car
in 2007 , it's absolutely not competitive at all
if it were, you'de see teams driving it in WRC
but as WRC is limited to 300 BHP
there's no sense in taking a GT3 RSR , detuning it
and then not winning anything due to lack of traction
you can loose in a cheaper car then that
most WRC events are on gravel, dirt, snow, ice
even if there was no horse power limitation, the GT3RSR could never make up in HP what the others deliver in terms of traction... it just doesn't work like that
Porsche 911 stopped being a competitive rally car when the Audi Quattro entered the scene, the C4 when it came out, was underpowered , and the 911 Turbo didn't come with AWD... there has never been a AWD 911 RS version, and the 959 came out just when Gruppe B was cancelled...
the only AWD 911 that did rally events, was that safari version, and that was a one off...
