Group A was dead before the GTR even hit the track
The cars it was racing against were all 3-4 years older than the R32
So given 1 or 2 more years the 4wd Escort Cosworths, EVO Lancers and a few other cars would have wiped the floor with the GTR
So yeah...the GTR was a good race car...when it was racing cars a lot older than it.
