If you can call that an STI. More like a Import Funny Car, RWD!
Looks scary to drive, need some good injury and life insurance.

Yeah, that thing veers to the right strongly on every launch. Just wait until there's a minimal error and he will smack that wall pretty good.

Doesn't look like much of a WRX anymore. It's more like a boxer powered drag car that happens to have a WRX shell on it.

The fastest trap speed belongs to a EVO III at 179mph, but it only ran a 8.2 with that trap.

Well technically speaking that EVO III is faster than that Scooby, and that Suby is RWD compared to AWD for the EVO III. But I admit that the EVO III should be deep in the 7s with a 179mph trap speed. I mean AMS ran a 8.5 and they trapped only 168mph and I believe it is still a manual transmission (albeit a modified one).
