If you were going to build a street legal rally inspired tribute vehicle what platform would you start with?

As crazy as it sounds probably a new corvette of the highest trim and power

Group B needs to come back already

2000 hp, active aero, mid engine with a supercharger and turbos, 200 mph on dirt roads.

Boy it sure would be nice

2nd post nailed it.  I was also going to post a Lancia, but a Stratos.

Check out this modern one that got built.  Damn!

You know what's fun about rally cars?  They have to be road registered and insured pursuant to competition rules.  I took my rally car to work a few times.

Rally vehicles are by their nature, required to be "street legal", so I'm not sure I understand that caveat. These are road legal and registered for public driving, even  Rally Raid as transits (on public roads) are required outside of the competition special stages.

But actual works units or homologation models certainly aren't tributes.

If I were to construct a rally "tribute", prolly wouldn't be a car - JCO's '88 Dakar entry YZE 750 above or the year earliers FZT 900. A tribute would allay the concerns I'd have for authenticity. One guy I wish I would've have had the luck to meet

Hate Kamaz but 'Worst roads, best Trucks" -  all from '09 Dakar. T4 tribute would be bad ass but would not be my thing

Air cooled 911 is pretty much ready out of the box. Send it to Tuthill if you want it to fly also.

There are a few companies making kit cars that are fairly awesome. One is more true to the original than the other. I want one in the worst way.

It’s a defined boundary for those who don’t know and would be inclined to think in terms of “race car” or similar.

We all know how GD can be at times.

There are a couple of cars that I am already chasing but I’ve had no luck. Admittedly I haven’t been willing to travel much or purchase vehicles sight unseen. I’d like a chrome bumper C3 Corvette (good condition driver) and an 3rd gen G-Body Monte Carlo SS (to gut and build with a manual transmission, tubular suspension, aluminum door panels, etc.). I’m finding lots of the “I know what I’ve got” sellers who are looking for fools with money. The more options I have the more luck I usually have.

I had spent a number of years gathering the parts necessary to build a VW Golf/Rabbit Mk1 rally tribute. I eventually decided that one VW would be enough and sold off the parts.
