Isn't this just a tuner's STi tuned to 425HP? So is this a car Sunaru will be selling in the show room or just a package ESX sale? Maybe if Subaru actually put this on sale in the showrooms, Mitsu would bring FQ-400 over......except it'll be FQ-426......

It'll be a limited production car (40-50) but fully backed by Subaru, complete with warranty.

I would take one if they would offer it in the Subaru Blue I love so much! As for the Rims, the ones in the picture remind me too much of the factory rims that were on my Jeep Grand Chrerokee Limited. They were a B*tch to clean. The color/ stripe combo on this car is too close to the SRT-4's I see on the Dodge Dealer's lot. Someone needs to come up with something different.
Just My Opinion.

$40 to $50K? I don't know to many grown men that would drive something like that, so I guess most of these will go to the spoiled college kid segment.

Funny thing is, in the subaru community the popular tuners are:
1. Cobb
2. TurboXs
3. Vishnu

Nobody even talks about ESX .... All I know about them is what I read from magazines .... funny no? And yes Subaru is a little better about warranty issues than Mitsu .... but just a little
