I was a little bored the other day and decided to go take a few test drives. I got to test drive the new evo VIII. OMG!!! tongue.gif It was sooooo much fun....i think i scared the dealer guy sh**less! Then i got to wondering...I know that the EVo has around 270 hp and the gt-4 has 250...Has anyone test driven both of them, and if so are they anything alike?

p.s. there is nothing like going 0-60 in 5 sec!! biggrin.gif

Subaru has been making Impreza WRX's since the end of October of 1992- just not for U.S. consumption until 2002. 
he means that back then when the ST205 was competing the WRX wasnt in the WRC



Ohh yes it was. The first rally that the WRX (or impreza 555, as it was called in rally-speak) competed in was the 1000 Lakes rally of Finland in August of 1993. It came in second. Ohh yeah, and its competition was the Celica GT-4 ST-185... It was rallying a good year before Toyota even debuted the ST-205. It also won the manufacturers championship in 1995 and 1996. Trust me, you wont stump me when it comes to rallying. I don't say it unless I know it.
