perhaps thats is where the car was tested.
and subaru thought they would stick a nurburgring sticker on it with 'keep attacking the Nurburgring'.
Personially i kinda like it.

Looks great, STi8U !
Considering getting a Spec C MY 06 from Litchfield myself, with 12-way adjustable suspension so I can set it softer in winter (ARB's etc pretty cr@p when all roads are like this for 6 months of the year ).
Looks like the Spec C also could answer some of the criticisms I (and probably others) have of the normal STi:
- still proper 2.0 engine.
- black seats instead of the 'teenage blue only choice'.
Still wondering whether the electronic diff in combination with a better suspension will be as good as the Evo 9's AYC and electronics on ice and snow.
Wasn't impressed with the Milltek exhaust on the Spec C I drove though. Would need to find another way of improving exhaust flow without having the whole town turning around when we drive through.
Final thing that would make it perfect: smaller (but more enduring) brakes so I can fit narrower 16" wheels with proper competition tyres in winter

The badge should have read "keep attacking the forest stages" or "... Welsh mountain roads"
