Thumbs up

subaryuwr1 - I'm in the same boat as you mate. Have been scoobyless for a month now! I saw the car at the Autosport show and bought it on looks alone - now that the performance stats have been released I'm even more happy about being a prospective owner.

Think the first batch is 3-4 weeks away - I hope so anyway!

Forget the jealous people.... (like me!!!)

That's an awesome car and I doubt they would lie about the stats, even if it would take a pro driver (and half a clutch!) to achieve it.

I look forward to seeing one on the road, and even better, seeing one parked up and chatting to the lucky owner....

It will be the best UK impreza to date, definately the most powerful uk PPP'd car but not the best overall impreza (your looking at the JDM cars for that )

Not again Martin. Are you basing this comment of your experience of the car that supposedly had the "WR1 map", or just general skepticism?

I have no reason not to believe the figures as most of the top scoobs do sub 5sec 0-60

P1 was tested at 4.66

Type R/ RA and 22B have hit low 4s (4.1 and 4.2).

Seems feasible to me

it seems to me alot of people are ready to slag off the wr1.
obvious reasons I wont, but lets all revel in the fact that this standard scoob is "supposidly" faster than an evo..
is that not something to celebrate?
