It was plain to see what happened, the little Subaru's rice was just not up to the boiling point yet! 
I will say that Vette is amazingly quick and sounds great. I also have to say that those Subaru WRX's are in my opinion, the ugliest, goofiest looking "toycars" built. They are fast, but look like a high school auto shop class gone bad. A hood scoop, oversized wing, fartcan muffler, and four doors on the same car right from the factory can only be attributed to someone with a sense of humor at Subaru.

Everyone is assuming the WRX was stock, who knows! Might be a bigger beat down than it appears..............

I've always thought they looked way over the top.

Yep, and that's just about how most of them look after they've been on public streets for about a year also. Sorry, but from what I've seen, Subaru's of any model just don't age well at all. I think the WRX's will be throw away cars after the 1st owner trys to trade it in.

wow, i give it props its fast. i must defend my subaru though since that driver was all that good. that sure wouldnt happen to a few guys i know but they would have been beaten but not that badly. i have love for both and the sti is not rice. in fact the subaru has been well known for its performance and reliability, everything put on the car's exterior is functional. so all that wants to dog it and say how ugly or toyish it looks thats fine we all have opinions. i drive and build them so i understand their purpose and potential, the vette is a true sports car in the respects its v8 rwd. the wrx/sti is a rally car but can be used for anything which is why its fun. it can give you a damn good run for the money, especially for having 4 less cylinders and power train loss of power (awd). rain, snow, or dry roads are fun, especially when the turns are tight. ive had to defend the vette on my suby forums as well, some of them wont get over the rip off nissan sells as a GTR. i could go on about them but this is a vette forum, im going on you tube to see my z06 kick some r8 *** haha
