A story to make Subi owners rejoice
 

The other day I posted the abortion known as the new Forester - that would have made a few frown.

Redemption is at hand :)

Read along and smile.

Thank christ it goes half decent, CAUSE ITS STILL AS UGLY AS A DEAD DONKEY FLY INFESTED BUM HOLE!!!!!!

...all this new fandangled set up and its still slower than earlier models...BOOOO!!!!

UGLIER AND SLOWER THAN ITS EARLIER BRETHREN - feel the love :D

but ...Neither car is quite as quick as its immediate ancestor though.
2005 STI still fastest so that should bring smiles to few owners here!

Interesting that there is only 2 sec difference between the 1992 STI (Legacy RS-RA) and the new 08 STI.

16 years of tyre technology would give some ground there.

Braking prowess is vastly increased, however so is weight.

No wonder a upgraded older Subi makes alot of sense :)

what happened back in 98 and 01? the sti was quite a bit slower than the evo....

they came back though!! :)

the RS-RA is hardly a good comparison to the australian delivered liberty tho. nice try ;)

I downloaded the latest best motoring, looks like it could be quite win

Good to see the Piggy managed to complete the lap quicker the 08 STI and EVO X

How often is the JDM version of the Evo/Sti different to the Australian version though? His point carries much credit considering these are all JDM models tested.

the RS-RA wasnt exactly a full production model in japan either
