Default cosworth impreza amc chelmsford

Ok it is a brand new one, and as yet has no plate on it and it has just been pdi d. but it burbled past me in the car park and sounded sweet. Couldnt help noticing how ordinary it looked and can only assume subaru putting a warranty on it is the reason for the 50 k price tag!!

Enjoy it whoever s it is as i would imagine it is a rare sight being that there is only 75 being built and it was a gunmetal grey which i did not expect either

Rather have the 22B UK ! 10 years old and still way ahead of the CS400!
Apparently this test was a bit fixed to make the CS look better than it actually is!

you would like to think for 50k it would chew them up and spit them out. does a 2.5 cosworth really cost that much to build........errrr i think not. how much to build your own 2.5 cosworth engine? 10k? 15?.

How did that 22B stop quicker than the Cossy and the P1? Didn't they come with the four pot brakes?

Yeah - supposed to be

But the blinkered boys love their 10 year old cars
I mean - who in the name of god would rather have a 10 year old car with 10 year old technology over a modern day refined more superior car?

Yeah,so much better off with a £50k car thats on a par with a Renault Twingo,now who,s blinkered.
I dont think its the newness thing against the old school,its just that the CS400 is gash,thats why nobody has admitted to buying one.
The R205,Now we,re talking,i,d much rather have that than my 10 yr old car
