Just read the "best handling cars" in Autocar.
Evo 8 verus new scoob type "c". Their comments " at last the scoob beats the evo". Read it and weep evomen!

And it wont be long before we get our hands on that diff.

 

ok respect to where it's due, but I had the chance to get one at the time but opted for the standard STi8. I know where the 100kg weight loss comes from (things like no climate control) but I just don't get on with that smaller rear wing and most of all the rear windows are manual...very fast but I'd have the standard STi8 any day.

So driving on public roads will not make too much difference to me having the more awesome car...but I would let it past if was behind me on the motorway...NOT

 

But i want a rwd scooby so i can get the best of both worlds. 4wd for the twisties and launch and then rwd for the drag strip.
