Also, just because you post a pic of a fully supported shop car (which you have no idea how many times the motor has been apart and back together), that doesn't change the fact that I've never seen a slobaru make it an entire event without blowing up.

Actually, you know just last month there were 3 Subarus at Lightning and none blew up and they were hauling *** out there even the Bspec Legacy and the blue one I think was playing with Pete. That was at least 6 hours of track time for both days and they drove to and from the track.

And maybe 2 of them can run the new Enchusiast class.

And when you compare that shop to say World Racing as far as sponsorship and pure money they can't compete.

World Racing has manufacturer backing, own business Descendant, World Racing products/development, and back from dads company World Electronics. But you're right I think like 8 cars that run GTA have a WR sticker on them.. also GST's L is also currently located in Reading, PA at WRs other location.

You didn't say you wanted to see my car, you said you would like to see a WRX/STi do a full track day without blowing up. So I showed you one, don't be polly-pissy-pants because I gave you an example of exactly what your asking for.

It's ok, everything is going to be alright. Your right I'm wrong.

My car has seen many track days, and never blown up. Plus this is my 9th Subaru, which all of my past ones were all track cars with no issues. This is actually my first Subaru that developed a problem for me big enough to replace the engine. So don't group me together with all the noobs with Subaru's going out to the track with their un-prepped daily. If you want to play that game, let me put together a list of all the EVO's that have had DNF issues.

To me, if you never seen a Subaru do a full track day, you haven't been to enough events. Just sayin'.

I wouldn't say the GST is a track car. It does like 8 laps total per day, two hot laps each time it goes out. Even Rado' car has cement in motor. They don't run long enough to get crazy hot.

I have personally seen at least 10 Wrx/STi blew on track. I have instructed 3 STi and two overheat and quit and one fully built 50 hp blew on track. Just saying.

Been in the east coast Suby game for some time. I will tell you 99% why, the tooners, you know who tuned mine? Jorge Carillo when he flew in to tune it in Maryland. Not saying Petey or Ray couldn't do it but at the time it's what I preferred.
