You know what makes me mad!!! Is that Subaru doesnt get much credit. You can hardly find performance parts for them and when you do they are so over priced its not even funny. No one in their right mind can say that 2.5RS Impreza isnt nice looking or a great value for its money. It comes with AWD and 165hp for only 16000 and that doesnt even include all the other stuff you get like potenza 16s and carbon fiber interior hood scoop mid-spoiler abs with disc brakes. I will be getting my impreza this march and when I do you bet I will be at gandy tearing it up..

True but the main reason Subaru doesnt get much respect is because the 2.5s are slow. 165hp and AWD sounds nice and all but a 16.4 or so e/t aint quick. Now when we finally get the true WRX with 227hp and AWD thats a different story all together. That car will run a 14.0 right outta the box with lots of room for improvement. For 23k that car is going to be tough to beat for the money. I predict that the WRX will light off the market for Subaru - wait and see.

I agree with John on this one. Why dont you just wait and get the WRX? That car is bad ass. Hell right out of the box you could take off two of the cats and still be legal with a lot of more power without having to spend much money.
John are you sure thats what they run at the track? That doesnt make sense if its all wheel drive consider what I ran.

A friend of mine MIGHT be able to run a WRX at a track day sponsored by Subaru. Subaru has reserved Las Vegas Motor speedway for one week. They are going select certain people from Subaru dealers and fly them to LV for some hot laps. If he is one of the 10 fastest in the group he gets to run in a sprint race with the others.
Anyway he said the car is incredible. Man I hate those new lights but he said he can get me the Jap spec lights if I want them. This is if buy the car of course.
