    Car Show Pics!! Check out this Subaru!!!

    Well if you are a World Rally Fan (and I am very much into WRC stuff) today was an awsome day!! Today was a huge car show in South Jersey, the Marine Corps. Toys for Tots show to be exact, and about 600 cars from all over the Deleware Vally came. Well, after my dad and I parked this little blue Subaru parked next to me. Much to my surprise, It was right had drive. I immediatly knew what it was!!!


    There are only 437 of these cars in the WORLD, and only ONE in the US. This car is owned by Subaru and they let thier head marketing guy bring it to the show!! Subaru's American Headquarters is not far from where the show took place. This car has been in countless magazines and is in the Subaru TV commercials!! So, here are the stats:

    2.2 Litre 4 clyinder "Boxer" engine, turbocharged (obviously) only 14 1/2 lbs of boost. The heads were ported and polished, cams and everything else are the SAME as you get in a WRX off the showroom floor. The main difference comes in the "electronic engine management" he said with a grin.
    340 HP to the wheels!!
    360 ft lbs. of tourqe to the wheels!!

    0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds!! In Japan, he said this car would sell for somewhere around $75,000!!!! Yikes.




    The red coating is a heat treatment that is used in airplane construction, it lowers the temperature of whatever metal it is sprayed onto by about 11 degrees.


    Hehe notice the redline. wowza!


    Center Diff control!!! You can adjust for gravel surface, paved road, hard clay, etc etc!! This is a "Class N" Rally car as it stands, it would need much more fancy electronics to be a all out WRC car, but this is pretty darn close for still being street legal!

    Ok, this is not a joke. See that little square on the dash on the left side. Well that is a "Manuel Airbag Button"!!!! It's for a rally co driver, if he thinks he is going to crash he can hit that button so the Airbag goes off!!! I thought the guy was kidding but he was dead serious. haha

      *drool* STi's are awesome! I love those cars right up there with R-34 Skylines and Mitsubishi EVO's. I like the older body style more than the newer body style, head lights look too much like a Ddodge Neon (no offense to Neon guys).

      That's a sweet ride!

            That is when you calmly tell them that it is the "Driver's Ed" edition.

                  That is quite possibly the stupidest looking wing on a car ever. The airforce called, they want their bomber back!

                  Other wise the car is pretty bad ***.

                    That is one DAMN SWEET CAR!!!! I would love to get my grubby mitts on that beautiful piece of machinery. 0-60 in 3.9 secs, damn that's fast. Kinda makes me think back to the vids that I've seen of the little cars ripping through a Viper.

                        I have a 1/10 scale r/c model of one of those. Scoobys rock!!!! There's heaps of them here, just not 22B's Lower Spec WRXs and STi's All EJ20 Turbo engines, the power and torque vary from model to model.

                        Oh and whoever said the steering wheel's on the wrong side?? Let me at it and I'll prove to you it's not. hehehe
