Technically they do, the 260 GSR.......The FQ and MR owners like to remind the GSR owners its a lesser model like the STI owners do to the WRX owners..

I would have bought an STi, but I needed a wagon and they didn't make a Blobeye STi Wagon, I also need to be able to tow, something you can't legally do in an STi.

I don't think that anyone on here claimed that a WRX was quicker than an STI.

Yes the WRX has crappy brakes but that makes driving them that little more exciting.

Oh and tubby just answer the question, does your mrs have a chavvy Japanese sh*tbox impreza or not...?

But then people like me upset that apple cart, but fitting fully forged EVO running gear into lightweight hatchback shells.

To be honest you are both right.

It's a Proton Gti, which is 90% the same as the Colt GTI. Even the wiring loom used Mitsi plugs and connectors.





It's the same floor plan as the EVO until the rear seats, where you have to add the AWD parts. The only thing that needed modding was the prop, which was shortened by 50mm.


We found all this out when Team Kentscoobies entered the last MLR500 in a Colt Gti.





There's another scoob owner on here with one as we'll.
