.... just to add (for the knockers who'll be on here moaning the £49,999 price tag of the Cosworth) that it's main competition isn't the RS500, it's the Evo X FQ400.
And guess how much the FQ400 is?

Yep, but the GTR is cheap to buy for a reason, Nissan rape you for parts and service.

Nope.

Build both the Subaru Cosworth and the Nissan GTR from parts off the dealers shelf and at the end, which one will be more expensive, by a considerable amount?

The Cosworth is a normal STi with a fancy engine, the GTR is a bit more...
