    All "S" model wrx 's like the s204 was circuit racing inspired based on their endurance racing category at the time. WRX STI was rally inspired hence the difference in chassis rigidity. This car was also entered in the Japanese Taikyo endurance race series in Japan. So there you have it race track inspired WRX like the type r but 4wd.

    America really got the short end of the stick when it comes to special edition euro & jdm cars. Hell we didn't even get the American Focus RS until maybe 5 years ago. I would love to own a GR spec C or R205. There's just something about the hatches.

      @uwisho Год назад

      @@MotiveVideo For any viewers wishing to modify your Subaru for more power (and learn to modify your car better from RUclips comments). The stock head sealing is pretty average and sooner or later you will push a gasket without better/larger head studs and depending on power goals, closed deck, fire rings etc. Don't get me started on the bottom end. If you start modifying your stock engine with bigger turbo, more boost etc expect a rebuild sooner or later, can be said for a lot of performance cars but especially with EJ's, if you're going to modify one, start saving for an engine. I and many other know from experience.
      Stock they are usually fine when treated right, and more so when Ej20 (like in this video) vs EJ25.
      My OP was intended as a joke but perhaps got you at the end of a long day.
