Default Interesting info on the STi

I just came back from an STi school in Pittsburgh hosted by Subaru. After 2 days of beating an STi, Forester Turbo, and Baja Turbo on a track, I am tired.

Stuff I just learned on the STi:
The camshafts are hollow for less weight
It uses a VF39 turbo (no one seemed to the model number)
No cat on the up-pipe
Bunch of other stuff I can't remember

I also have a sweet in-car video of me driving the STi on the track. At one strait i hit 125MPH:o


Good fun


Kyle

I'm getting two Kias, so nah.

Any noticable detonation with the STi? What type of fuel was used?

Only 93 octane or higher. Even 92 like some places use will cause knock.
