First off all, Happy Newyear to everyone, now read this : I have an Impreza Turbo, std with 218 bhp, now aprox : 260, with 350 Nm of torque, std suspension exept an anti lift kit and solid swaybar links from Whiteline.
A friend of me bought himself a BMW M5, 400 bhp... and so on...
Now, when driving on the autobahn, of course he's the quickest, but once we take some B roads with tricky corners, cambers and ruts it takes me some 30 seconds to slash a gap between us, and he's never capable of catch me in.
Of course he's a talented driver :he had 911 turbo's and a maserati, but the thing I want to say is that my almost standard car, for a fifth of the price, can beat a well driven arsenal of power and electronics. Even in his local BMW garage they couldn't believe it until I toof them for a ride, in the rain.. and geuss what happend then....
So anibody who want to change the suspension for expensive tuning parts : stick to the original, with some reinforcements (Whiteline stuff) that will do for fast road driving....

Of course the Scoob will be better on the b roads, nothing to do with the weight advantage is it? - Personally I'd have an M5 over the scoob any day of the week.
