I've owned all 3 cars that you have mentioned in this thread, a Newage WRX, a Newage STI and an EVO 5....I can categorically state, a Newage WRX with 260bhp would get absolutely annihilated by a 380bhp EVO...Fact!

They are not even in the same league! Matt, you really are a fool.

Having owned 3 Evo's(2 modified and 1 standard 6 GSR) A 260bhp WRX would not even keep up with the standard Evo 6 GSR, I think a 300bhp newage WRX would struggle to be honest!!!

I'm seriously struggling to believe you guys are such crap drivers that you can't peddle a car well enough to stay with something that has a mere 100bhp advantage, I'm finally starting to understand why you're all so power hungry.

It's because you can't drive for ****.

I taught Lewis Hamilton to drive before he got into F1 cars, and one time at Formula one training school I got asked to race a season for Ferrari but I turned it down as I didn't want to give up my day job of driving trucks, but I was that good that they said they couldn't teach me anything as I already know everything!!

And I also got kicked out the SAS as I used to bully the other guys!!!

So you learned all that stuck at 60mph behind other trucks on the motorway, great skills.

NOT! you're just another muppet that can't drive for toffee, so judge everyone else by your own standards.

Right back at you you really are very pathetic, searching for old threads, how much of your evening does that take up what's your Mrs doing while you're stuck on here following me around and digging up old threads.

You do realise that you're just making yourself look sad as ****, oops probably not, after all you've been a lift engineer all your life, your parents must be so proud.

No, you're being an internet stalker, following a bloke around a subaru website and commenting on his every post, digging up his old posts.

Just saying.

Nah, the jet setting was quite a few years ago now, these days I just fly and drive across Europe a few times a year, last big trip was India a couple of years ago when my Mrs & kid were out there for a year secondment, did the darjeeling toy train, Kashmere and a few other places like the once highest golf course in the world and old hill stations.

Where have you been recently?

Just the one farm house, in Croatia. What have you been up to when you're not teaching Lewis how to drive a truck at 56mph.
