Question... given how many reviewers complain about the current STI's suspension: Should Subaru build a version of the WRX STI devoted solely to the track? Would a flat cornering, limited travel suspension be a good option for it? (in other words, make a Lotus Elise out of it)? |

Replying to: paisan (Jun 20, 2008 5:13 pm) I think the real problem here is getting a vehicle with a very low production number here certified for sale. I may not be worth SOA's effort to do so. Bob

Replying to: paisan (Jun 20, 2008 5:13 pm) Perhaps then the reviewers who bitch about the STI can get a "track ready" version to try out and be happier ? For that matter, how many of the STI's sold are used for the track, rather than rally racing?

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Jun 21, 2008 10:27 am) I agree that Subaru should offer some sort of "factory" sport set-up for the (Impreza) STI, be it a specific model or just an option package. In fact, it was mentioned here. http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests/3019 Bob |

Yeah I was referring to the USDM market. Also over here, most sanctioned racing requires a lot of modifications, more than would come in a factory setup of any kind, so you'd still need to modify it in order to race em here. The only factory race car I know of here is the Mustang, and that's produced for a spec series and I don't think it's street legal. -mike |

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 24, 2008 4:12 am) Talking of space management, my new Honda Fit is the very epitome of it. Very roomy seating positions in both rows and has a reasonable amount of trunk space too (21 cu.ft), while externally the car looks dimunitive/pint-sized. The only downside is that with the smallish engine, the car has not moved much till it gets to the 3rd gear....but with 37+mpg (real world with 40% stop-and-go city and 60% hwy including 75-80mph speeds - not BS EPA numbers), I am not complaining !
