pretty cool Vid. I agree that the ZL1 just seems so at home on the ring! i wonder what kind of time they could have gotten with the right driver behind the wheel?

I'm sure that'll light a fire in some ricer panties!... I thought beating the mustang by 3 secs or so was bad.....

Cool comparison. You can see how the all wheel drive keeps the subaru gripped even once it loses traction a bit. Looks like the wrx had faster mid-corner speeds, but got trounced in the straights. It would be a lot more interesting with one of the special edition subarus though. The version tested in that vid is closer in price to the SS.

Cool video, I enjoyed watching that!
The STi is nowhere close to being a "ricer," as it is actually a fast car that can perform extremely well. A ricer is a foreign car (mainly Asian, but not always) that is made to look and sound fast, but is not. |

The Big Boy is Bad!
Man O Man!! The ZL1 is a str8 UP BRUTE! the way this car corners @106+ MPH then comes out of a U curve @60MPH and in less than 3 secs it's back at 135+ MPH. Amazing mix of balance, weight and power. The Hymns coming from that big block is ferocious! The Muscle is back with Chevy!

I love watching these Nurburgring videos! Has Ford released any on their Boss 302 or the Laguna Seca?

I went to the Subaru Canada web site to build one of these cars for the sake of interest.
By the looks of it they don’t come cheap. I figure the price tag after taxes is around $51000.00. There are a lot nicer cars out there for that price; also I don’t think Subaru has a warranty for track use if something breaks on the car. Here is a copy of some of the engine specs. Engine: 2.5L Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC), 16-valve, horizontally opposed, 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER high-performance engine with high-pressure turbocharger and high-capacity intercooler, Electronic Throttle Control and Dual Active Valve Control System Power: 305 hp @ 6000 rpm Torque: 290 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm The curb weight for this car was about 2800 lbs It would be interesting to see how long this engine lasts before it blows up. |

I wouldn't say these two are directly comparable... not stock anyway's, the STI is a great car. I am not sure where the guy above me got 51k but in America a WRX STI cost like 34k before any options. Great price, great car.
I do seem to noticed a difference between drivers I think somebody touched on that subject though

The STi in the video is not stock. It was a Subaru prototype:
