Thumbs up

It beat an STI around Goodwood IIRC.

The fact is its fast, damn fast, on a smooth road and a race track.

2 wheel drive cars are "involving" to drive.

AndiT,

You gotta admit it... its a Civic Type-R, Focus RS, and an Impreza WRX

Lets just hope that by the time the Focus RS comes out the equivalent Scoob (the 2003 WRX) will do a little better against it on the track.

As for the Stig... I reckon DH too ... just a hunch.

Marty.

precisley,the RS has 213 or so BHP so why not use a evenly matched rice burner?

imports? more power?

the RS with the SAME power would trounce it even more i reccon,

PMSL, yeh a punchup, leave the cars in the carpark and lets all go inside for tea and cucumber sarnies

more serious tho, the RS is FWD and the scooby-dooby-didnt is 4WD, not a real comparison IMO

wait for the cossie then run for the hills scooby boys

That RS looked well twitch on the 'twisties'. Lets face facts, regular drivers i.e. 95% of ppl on here, are gonna be able to chuck a scoob around with far more confidence than the RS. Nice alloys though....

Unhappy

I really think the Impreza has lost all of its crowns now

1. Its beaten now by a FORD - FFS!!!

2. Subaru has knackered its looks - the MY03 looks better than a BugEye but NOWHERE near as classie as the Classic - sadly

3. The Impreza has tumbled down the JD Power charts

4. Its doing NOTHING on the Rally Stage

The legend is dead, long live the new kid on the block - not sure what it will be, but its no longer the Impreza - and I HATE saying that - but I ALWAYS speak the truth!!

Oh, yes, rush down to the bookies and get a bet on Stig being DHill

Damons got seriously long hair now, hasn't he?
I didn't see it poking out under the helmet!!
so maybe not guys.

Certainly not the real Stig Blomquist (sp?)
as he's a right fat git

Don't think you'd get very good odds, as it's kinda been common knowledge on the 'net for the last week...(Or at least whenever the new series started...)
