YouTube - Petter Solberg driving the new Impreza STI

So, he wasn't taking advantage of the newtracion control system then!!

Oh, and new Group N Rally version here:

YouTube - Toshihiro Arai's demo run in the new Impreza STI group N

 

It didn't want to take corners did it , understeer city still,

I can understand in the bigger saloon but its not what id want from a small fast 4 wheel drive hatch

 

Can make any car understeer if you dont drive it properly.

Seemed like he was having a laugh.

EDIT: Just watched the Tosh one. He likes driftin doesn't he. Is that how a PPG box sounds, the whining and clonking???






Want one.

 

Dog engagement with straight cut teeth, you have to change gear right in them.

But they do sound lovely not sure if they're friendly enough for a road car though.

 

last years looked better

Is it me or did they both seem to be having a hard time..?

Looks a handful..!

 

Aye, looked like a handful.. I thought the handling was a bit off due to the car being stock - a dose of whiteline + other bits could dial that out but..

I thought thats what the DCCD was for.. unless it is a different gadget altogether now?

I still have mixed feelings about the car and waiting for a tuner to create a WRC like kit that will at least make the car a bit more aggressive.

 

Litchfields & Powerstation have just mapped an new shape STI.

Agree that that's much better! Why such a small exhaust though?

TX.

 

looks pants IMO. an embarrassment to the lineage.
