So yesterday I drove one for a short period of time, it was one of my dads friends. can honestly say I've never felt acceleration like it, except for like a plane or rollercoaster obviously.. my insurance covered me to drive it as well, 3rd party extension ftw;) anyone else driven one or anything like it? I'm pretty sure someone on here owns one actually..
I drove my older brothers evo fq360, only went in a straight line mind but it was scary brown trouser acceleration. Isn't it Jesus that has one? Not sure if his is the STI though, what year was the one you drove and was it an STI?
I have never driven a subaru before, but i have been in one and they are *REMOVED* fast.

Ah well, pretty much all scoobies are fast anyways, has he ever raced while you were in it? I hate being in a car with someone who is driving really fast unless I trust them and their driving skills. Like for example when my older brother took me out he was driving like a mad man and it was the first time I'd ever been in a car with him going fast so I hated it but if it was my other brother who I ride around with a lot I would of enjoyed it if that makes sense. I trust my dad but the older he gets the more his driving skills will begin to deteriorate but he's still in his prime now so all is good. :P

hai, it's me who owned one. it drank fuel and ate tyres, was pretty fun though. i've now got a clio 172 and to be honest this can keep up with wrx imprezas all day long, believe it or not. sti ones are a different story...
Yeh I can believe it, a while ago we raced an 02 WRX in a clio williams 3 2.0 and it was a pretty equal race.Quote:

hopefully gonna drive it again soon :) do love them clios you're on about though ;)
My brother has the P1 Subaru Impreza, which is a 2-door version. Apparently it's uber rare. Interesting to be a passenger, seeing as it feels like you're meant to be lifting off any second after you've accelerated :P
My brother also had a P1, he moved straight to an FQ360 after that and said the difference was minimal so it really does give you an idea on just how fast the P1's are. He has had a nice collection of cars when looking back but he soon gets bored with them and changes to something faster.
I've driven my uncle's old Evo VIII FQ-360 around the industrial estate at work, and it was epic in every way! massively quick, and with the 4wd you could chuck it into corners and it was uber quick off the mark! I also had my mate's Audi S4 for the best part of a day which cost me quite a bit in fuel but was worth every penny :)
S4's are one of my favourite cars, I've never been in one but I have seen and heard one. The sound of that V8 is far better than a V6. What was the S4 like to drive compared to the evo?
I've never been mad about neither the Scooby or the Evo - but upon saying that though, the new Impreza STi is a very smart motor - I seen one used a police car recently

ever since my volvo died i need something awd... a legacy outback is winning the race!
The Evo felt a little quicker than the S4 but I drove the evo about 6 months before the S4. The power from the S4 seemed to be applied smoother than the Evo, which was just there immediately.. also with the evo having a turbo, when it kicked in the boost obviously made a difference as the S4 is n/a. S4 also had 2200cc more than the evo, but the evo was a turbo.Quote:

my dad's car version, colour 'n all:
