godwhomismike Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Putting looks aside, I have to admit that is quite impressive. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 What is wrong with the looks, i think its alright...not something i would want to drive everyday, but fun no doubt. Too bad its a Mitsu....they need some help...BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 It will be interesting to see how well it fares at Millbrook during the endurance testing. I would imagine that it 24/7 at top speed would elicit some potential for failure in an engine putting out 200 hp per liter coupled to an essentially stock drivetrain. I wish them success.

crapy Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 the only problem is that the older EVOs look more what EVOs should look like :D other than that, EVO kick ass! at least, it has much cheaper insurance :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerdave Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 That EVO is cool. Sorry if this is Subaru heresy, but even though I'll be buying a Leggy GT, I still think the Evos rock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Have to disagree guys, the best EVO out there was the EVO VI, Tommi Makinen Edition and still is high on the money list too 2nd hand... Major features are ; 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC turbocharged engine with intercooler Max horsepower : 280ps/6500rpm ( 206kW/6500rpm) Max torque : 38.0kg-m/2750rpm (373N-m/2750rpm) Tarmac suspension ; It is tuned to give improved initial response on tarmac surfaces. multi-link rear suspension : Brembo brake system : AYO & front HELICAL LSD : single large bore circular tailpipe : front strut tower bar : new powerful design front bumper : 17-inch alloy wheels & 255/45ZR tires : RECARO bucket seats with Tommi Makinen logo : MOMO steering wheel with air bag.

SUBE555 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 NP Adam. I still like the old EVO's for style best, same with the old skool Impreza's and others, was a great generation, but all the gadgets like AYC really make the new ones a hoot if you're looking for corner carvers. The FQ400 should be interesting to see on TopGear's track. I know the FQ300 and 320 models did rather well and handed the STi's their hat. Mitsu has had the upper hand here at least on the street for a few years now, when is Subaru going to punch back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Well, word is the next generation is supposed to go back to it's roots, that is smaller, lighter, and less boxy. There is a post drifting around news/rumors in NASIOC about what someone at corporate said. Now I don't know if the Impreza development thread made an impact on any of that, but there has been an outcry for the timeless GC/GM/GF characteristics to return. I love the old RS! Yeah, would have been nice to have the turbo versions here, but the RS in itself is a fun car. As much as I love my Legacy, I love a good Impreza just as much. Give me the option of a WRX or an old-school RS (00-01), there is no contest, RS! I really want to pick one up for an ice race/rallyX car sometime next year. Okay, rant/rave, whatever you call that, off. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Actually, I'm a bit more sedan friendly myself considering it would be easier to get a few tires in back being a sedan over an RS (I always think the cargo-race capacity ahead of time.) I know some people might call the RS an insignificant car, but why is it overall hard to find them! Definitely not a dime a dozen, even in today's buyers market. There are some on autotrader, but less than 2 pages worth and they're widespread. Nasioc ones, very low last time I looked. It's okay for now, I have one, likely 2 soon to play around with additional to my GT Wagon. :D I just can't wait to see what the next Impreza models will look like and have for hardware!

SUBE555 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Mmm, old skool. I still remember it must have been about 2 falls ago, shortly before the LSPR in Houghton, MI I saw a rally-prepped old-skool EVO rolling through town (I think we're 4-5hrs south of there), I had to do a triple take. It was dark, but it had the exact same body though it could have been it's 2WD counterpart. It sure looked nice however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapy Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 and the fact is that it doesnt look RICE even with those huge wings and bumper; just because it is an EVO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 And who said that flared pants, oops, flared arches were OUT???? That is the best way to tell if its a POVPACK done up to look like an EVO or the real deal. Adam. PS and thats what I call a cluster of lights !

IwannaSportSedan Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Bring on the Resurrection of the Subaru 2.5RS. 2.5 Turbo out of the Legacy GT. Less boxy and back to it's lightweight roots. Sounds good to me. I like the Old RS, but just two things about the way it looks. Roofline, and overall length, which may actually be tied together. The impreza coupe had the same odd roofline that the sedan had, which had it's highest point at the top of the C-pillar. The highest point should be at the B-pilllar, with the roof as parallel as possible with the "belt-line." Something small, sleek, cool, and powerful. Sounds like a new 2.5RS to me. Sedan 2.5RS available, as well, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
