I'm not talking about performance, I just don't think an old impreza has any real class. I'd prefer to own a newer car that surprises a few people...
hardly "suprising" if you get beaten by an impreza...however old or new...
if you mean "surprise" as in a corsa LET then maybe. I for one would be like "woah...look at that shitbox go!"

It will. Guy I know had an XE in his Nova before he put a LET in and it was in UK standard Impreza territory then. But the UK scoobys have a fair bit less power IIRC

i've driven a 2.0 corsa...they ain't all they're cracked up to be...i admit an LET would be fun

put a driver that can drive properly in a prezzie turbo and a driver that can drive properly in a let the impreza will win around the track
heck subarau might aswell just bin the impreza and use a corsa let for the next WRC

i'm also guessing the 2.0 turbo corsa has little traction in the wet? front wheel drive turbo's are poo, I've had one...too much spin in the wet

At no point have I denied Impreza performance -- I just find the driver attitude amusing as the older cars are priced within reach of a new breed of owner...

at the end of the day millions has been ploughed into making the impreza what it is, its nothing stupidly amazing but at least its not just lee mitchell in his garage experimenting
