It's because he mentioned the roundabout. If you lose grip in an subaru you can accelarate out of a roundabout, where as 2wd cars can't. In straight line braking the 205gti would be better because its lighter. Using gears is a tough one to call.

If he would have done this without mentioning the roundabout it would have been far easier.

When are you going to grasp that simple fact and stop banging on about stuff we already know like the fact the Impreza has a differential?

Again you're confusing handling and grip. Handling isn't really a function of grip, the ability to accelerate or even better braking. You can have a much slower car than say an Impreza which has better handling.

Am only banging on about it because of statements made by you

The handling performance of a car is a function of the car, the driver's ability, and the performance of the tyres. The driver's performance is crucial. It's also the most flexible and easily adjustable element of the three.
Driver behaviour and thus performance wholly depends upon the beliefs and values held by the driver.

41. you hold up faster accelerating cars by refusing to move over on empty dual carriageways because you've got an attitude problem
42.you drive so dangerously owners of faster cars decide to give up on making fast and safe progress in order to not be involved in your accident
43. you seem to have a bee in your bonnet about people driving 300bhp FWD hot hatches just because one with 200bhp whupped the *** of the current Impreza on a damp/wet track and they have a better image/cost less to run/are faster most of the time.

44. when you finally manage to get yourself a subaru you are dissapointed with non subaru owners comments basicly stating all subaru owners are the same when its not the case.
note.
the subaru is not a cheap car to run but then most subaru owners know that before they buy. kind of what you would expect though from a road going rally car, after all is not 325i. sure you already know this though as your keen to spoil this forum with your mystic meg knowledge.
p.s
if you ever manage to find your wife/girlfriends troussers why not treat yourself

The Impreza is a modest japanese saloon car with a modicum of power in turbo form and AWD. Nothing more.
I have no idea what you mean by 'mystic meg knowledge' and frankly I don't think I want to.
I'm not into transvestism either.

The Impreza isn't a 'road going rally car' it has about as much to do with a rally car as a Fiat Cinquecento. There are a proportion of people who like to believe that it is and some even go the lengths of covering their cars in stickers like an airfix model.

So you're now talking about an extremely low volume variant of the Impreza needing 'not much prep' to enter fairly low level competition?
That somehow makes the vast majority of Imprezas 'road going rally cars'?

I think when people say that, they talk about how quick they can be in bad conditions etc. So for someone to make the comment 'road going rally car' about something they drive it has to be a fully prep'd rally car that they drive on the road...come off it! Maybe not everyone takes themselves so seriously, and they are referring more to the cars capability, which, when they came out made them road going rally cars in terms of how quick they could be over everyday roads.

I'd like to believe that's the case but I think the reality is that there are a number of people on here who seem to have idea they'd be able to drive straight onto a stage.

We weren't talking about my car by popular demand but you insisted:-
superior engineering an evolution has removed all traces of 'tail happy' behaviour in the 911. If you ever get the chance to drive one you'll realise just how effective this is and how much more stable (as you'd expect) they are than most other cars whatever their drive system.

Matey, View my scooby. BMW M3, Porsche carrera's, add the odd cayenne turbo, maserati's, Ford Focus's and and dare i say Golf R32's (new & Old) just to name a few, all get blown away really. Not only that but all this nonsence about old out dated cars? My mate's cossie will blow anything away thats put next to it including ur precious Porsche Turbo's.
P.S Don't really care how long u been on the site, ur talkin BS and must be
if all u do is spend time on Forum's, i know i'd rather be drivin my Scooby

Your friends Sierra sounds great, I also like the look of your car, it's a fact though that both are now outdated cars. For that matter so is my 996.
Milling- the only people disliking what's being said is you and your ilk. I don't 'dislike' anything that's being said.

We just love your post Guv 'Spec C' Dhillon, says everything we are all thinking.. Go and find yourself something to do Nacro, your obviously sad and bitter and come across as awfully frustrated and feel the over all desire to just winge, something must be biting your bum either that or your wishing it would. Your last post sounds quite personal, your obviously a little man ?

Even though Nacro admits he likes scoobies and has had them in the past and probably will again, he has to realise a lot of us will defend an impreza's honour as we are all mostly very proud owners of them, as would other members on the MLR, GT-r forums etc.
Im big enough to admit when something is better, but I cringe when I think that some of these new hothatches might be better performance wise than an Impreza, its somethign I hate to ponder, the truth is, most of these new Astra's, Fiesta ST, Focus ST, have to spend a lot of money on handling, suspension and re-maps to compete with most standard scoobs, so Im totally convinced that somehting like my sti ppp (plus a re-map in summer) is definetely NOT outdated by a long chalk.
