Think that’s a bit harsh, all the classic WRX I see around my local area are mint, including mine, I have had 4 imported cars and the wrx is not the best looking of these but it still looks good and I loved seeing them in my rear view mirror, it good looks mean as fu*k.
Don’t forget you are also comparing a old car to new ones, any car which can still performance, looks good and put a smile on your face is worth it, i had the money for a new car, went for a weekend mint classic imported wrx, puts a smile on my face more than my works newish BMW i have to drive.

I like it when they race off in a 'chase me' fashion. I enjoy the pursuit and subsequent overtake. Plus it's nice knowing that they will have a certain appreciation for my car that a normal 'car just gets me from A to B' type won't. It's all harmless as long as it's not dangerous or wreckless.

Chase - pursuit - overtake - harmless - not dangerous or reckless. Only if you're on your PS2.

my boss has a 911 325bhp, after work on the way home we always have a little play at the lights where we both turn off. i must say after weeks of this bit of fun there is not much in it each time, he never pulls away much, it he does it seems i get back fast, dont think i could over take but i can keep up with him, and i drive a standard import wrx 260bhp.
so for a car which is 10 years + and only 260, if i was to spend half was much as he paid new for his car on mine just think what it could do! the end of the day i paid £4500 for my classic 1994 and it can almost keep up with a car costing £60,000 then thats money well spend.
no sure how it would be on bends in the wrx, cus it always on a little stright, but its good fun.

but then my boss had **** loads of money, and is always saying his aeroplane (yes he owns his on small plane) would kill his 911 lol and is 100 time more fun! o i wish i had that sort of money!

Agreed - if I had the 60k for a car it would be 30k on a 996 and the rest on holidays and general fun. But if you are that minted then the amount is not important I suppose.
