Welcome to Scoobynet !!

Get yourself a flamesuit, you've just come on a Subaru Forum and said that the Integrale is the greatest car in the world!!

That takes some bottle that does !

I did have a 98 Sti Import running 305BHP but I just didn't take to it. It just didn't seem to handle that well (and no there wasn't anything worn or broken) It was fast as fast thing but if you cant trust it fully in the twistys then the fun is gone. I've driven a few new age Sti's and granted they handle really well, but then they don't have the character of an old Integrale (or the rally championships to back it up......dig dig!!) People who have Mitsy's an Scoobys always slate Grales but how can they if they've never had the priviledge of owning all of them!!! Do they really know just how well they all drive? I mean its not as if everyone owns Integrales or knows friends who have them to actually say they can honestly compare them. Also people forget that they are 80's technology so they aren't doing bad in todays world. And then there's the "they are slow" arguement. Well at 215BHP standard they will seem slow comparing it to a 300BHP Sti. Pretty daft comparison to make if you ask me. Like saying Concorde was faster than a boing 747.

Don't get me wrong,i'm not saying that Scoobys are a bad car, far from it. I just prefare the old square beast for prestige and rareness, (before anyone says it...... and the rust!?!) And I also don't dislike Scoobys in any way, you just can't beat the flat4 sound and the sight of 22B hurtling up behind you,I just don't like the chav culture that is sadly creeping in on the scene.
