As a 21 year old college student most of my peers have a hard time understanding why I think my 85 hp 30 yr old car is so fun. Usually I get the question, “Okay, It seems like you can make a lot of upgrades to this car, If you did that how fast would it be” I usually answer with a stutter, uh uh I dunno. So, with a 200 hp six and moderately stiff suspension, what kind of numbers do you guys have? It would be very interesting to see some braking stats, 0-60, some form of slalom, anything. I’m also wondering if the guys out there with 300 to 400hp or getting that much more for performance.

Also agree, the driver is simply too big a part of the equation in the autocross results above...
But it's fascinating nonetheless. That STi driver must be a serious shoe...even though Subie got rid of a lot of the 2004 STi's understeer with the '05 model, I am VERY impressed that anyone driving one of those four-door, AWD porkers can beat out JP's trick six for TT. I used to own one, and while it was stunning on backroads, I would never have picked it for AX work... Wow! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) pete |
