our version of that car was the 2.5RS, which was the WRX body with a neutered driveline from the outback wagon and none of the cool interior bits. different bumpers too. its part of the reason its so easy to swap an old 2.5RS to a turbo driveline....it was always meant for it from the start.
so true. i'll never forget the car and driver issue where they pitted it against the S4 and everyone was getting into new levels of hyperbole over the WRX's 0-60 time. but nobody mentioned what you have to actually do to get that....so everyone went out and did redline-bomb launches to replicate the time and thus started the amazing legend of the "glass" WRX transmission. fun times.
