wrong. His “ferrari” is not running optimally but he’s still managing to beat the guy in the “civic” (Detroit and aerospace companies) by miles.

This is still very cool but for me as a true rally fan there is so much blasphemy in this article.

agreed on the transmission account. A lot of people that were looking to “abuse” these cars were going to PPG boxes right away.

you haven’t mastered the art of clutching in while pulling the handbrake but I guess you admitted that you don’t own a WRX so it’s OK :)

Now that would be a great solution. Or get people to lose weight so they can get their fat asses into lower sedans.

I absolutely agree. A lot of people have shitty credit for a reason. Crappy credit means that you screwed some people over on money that you owed them and every subsequent “creditor” has the right to walk away from you as a big risk or cover for this big risk with a large reward. Most of these lenders are banking on…

On another note, what’t subaru is this in the picture. It sure is not USDM bugeye WRX as only 2.5RS model came in this color and it didn’t have a hood scoop. The WRXs had only one blue model and it was the signature World Rally Blue which obviously wasn’t as purple as the car in the pix.

Shifting habits? what?

ummm, sorry, no.

huh? it was a regular open diff in the back if I’m remembering correctly. You’re probably talking about an STI set up that had LSD and center lock out.

there are most likely no pristine WRXs left in MT. Even grandma would shatter that horrible 5speed sooner or later.

I have a 2015 S MT an from the enthusiast’s standpoint it has everything that I want and nothing that i’d be missing. actually it has more things that I would want but they’re minor items such as XM radio, hill start assist etc. The cloth seats are much nicer than leather, they hold you better are cooler to sit on in…

both my phone redbulltv app and roku work fine. In a pinch you can watch it online on your computer as well

are we still talking about the Up! GTI that blockheads was recommending? I thought that this is what you referred to and that’s why is was surprised since that tiny car should easily exceed the MPGs that a Golf GTI gets.

what? I get that in a Golf GTI easily and still having plenty fun with my right foot pedal.

damn, he survived. I’m disappointed.

lol, I see what you did here as Octavia was actually the largest WRC of its time. Have a star.

why? what driver abilities would that actually test? Pretty dangerous and there is already a ton of excitement at a regular rally stages. Stunts like the above are for lazy spectators that want to sit on their but and wait for hot dog man to come by while they’re being amused by potential wrecks... lame...

reading comprehension - the driver was only “4 hours into the McLaren rental before they crashed it..” meaning that they only rented it 4 hours before, not for 4 hours. The rental could have been for a day, two or a week. The article doesn’t say.

Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa Connectivity... words that automatically turn me off when talking about any car...
