On Saturday afternoon on the A40 leaving London on the elevated part I raced a MY03 impreza ( white ).

I had REAL trouble keeping up :
a - because we were in central london and at 110MPH weaving through traffic ( very dangerous and very stupid )
b - I did'nt know where the speed cameras were.
c - did'nt expect to have to make an effort to keep up ( so he got a good headstart ) I did'nt know what it was until we hit traffic later on, but all I knew was that it was a subaru, but could'nt work out what the heck it was.

I've got a STi 6 type ra + exhaust + dump valve, so was no slouch.

I did'nt know what I was racing until today when I've looked at the new MY03 pics.



The one I raced was'nt a sti as it was realy plain but did have the writing / logo in the corner of the grill.
So I'm confused as to what the hell it was !!!!

any ideas anyone ?

I thought it was a new version of the SVX at the time,
as it was a 4 door and looked relatively large.
but have since looked at the piccies of new SVXs and it was'nt

" I'll check back on this thread at lunchtime. It'll be amusing as hell to see how badly your going to get eaten alive for the above quote "

The first part of the elevated section, near paddington turn off, has no cameras for a few miles until it drops down to ground level.

anyway,

my question is, what was it ? do subaru do another car remotely similar ? I dunno.

I've seen picters of the electra, and s201 in previous years,
which although look bizarre, still look like imprezas underneath.
but nothing like this

Are you sure it wasn't an EVO, they're much faster, some say

110mph through London traffic I could say more but others will do it for me

I'm surprised you can get to 11Mph in London, let alone 110.
