[QUOTE="jamanrr, post: 1485534, member: 18623"] Well since we have POPO hijacked this thread all up, why not explain it to you. The STI is a separate model from the Impreza while it was based upon the original Impreza line up it dropped the name with this model introduction. The RS is a Focus like the EVO is a Lancer both of which are based upon FWD econ box cars. So, in essence when you buy a Focus RS or a Lancer EVO you are getting the basic setup as the 10 grand Focus or Lancer with a bunch of different parts on it. I grew up with the same basic Mitsu engine which is in that EVO as it basically is the same design as the first and second generation Mitsu Eclipse cars which I owned several of and including a 3000GT. I love the STI because it is fun to drive super reliable in stock form. I have owned a sr20det swapped 240sx which made 360 whp and was a high 10 second quarter car. The STI is not this fast and probably could not be made that way without 400+ whp and some serious rework on the engine block. For some reason you probably remember all the issues with Subaru which is different than my experience with the brand. So, while I maintain my own vehicle and do most all maintenance work on it, I have not experienced any of those design defects that you complained about. Subaru Rally Team USA includes drivers Scott Speed and Travis Pastrana which compete in a full rally team season in the USA. Also, Vermont Rally Car has used their designs for decades and they could have selected any chassis to develop. The simple matter is that the Subaru STI is the most successful and longest running rally car of all time. Where is Mitsubishi on the EVO? Bankrupt selling nameplates from the 90s. Where is Ford Performance on the RS? Dead no more RS. [/QUOTE]
