It'd outbrake you too, even on standard pads and calipers..and it understeers less.

I traded in my MK5 R32 last week for a 2005 STI. In my opinion the Impreza is faster in every way.
And the R32 under-steering less with that heavy V6 up front ???

I've been on track against a couple of R32's and my Scoob destroyed them ! I only had a WRX with PPP running 265 or so, although the handling was somewhat improved
