VIDEO: Subaru WRX STI Around the Nurburgring

Thursday, June 10, 2010

The Nurburgring track in Germany in one of the most famous and grueling tracks in the world. Now, it has become a test bed for handling on everything from the world’s top supercars to SUV’s and run of the mill sedans. We guess that is a good statement about the overall advancement of the auto [...]

Finally Official: The Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400!

I’ll readily admit, I’ve been waiting for this car to surface fully with baited breath for months. I mean, it combines two of my absolute favorite things in the automotive universe: flat-four Subarus, and British tuning firm Cosworth, who can turn even a complete turd of a motor into something respectable. If you need proof [...]

For performance values in the small car segment, Subaru has been at the top of the list for enthusiasts. The WRX and WRX STI need no introduction in that regard. At the New York International Auto Show, Subaru announced that the sedan WRX STI will be returning for 2011, after a hiatus since 2004. To [...]

New York 2010: Subaru STI 4-door Returns!

When Subaru introduced the current generation of Impreza 3 years ago, one thing was missing: an STI sedan. Sure, you could get the fire-breathing STI in nifty (and arguably better-looking) five-door hatchback form, but it was a bit strange to not be able to get an STI sedan. Subaru has finally seen fit to remedy [...]

Hands down, one of my favorite motorsports events has got to be the Texas Mile. In short, it’s a balls-to-the-wall test of acceleration and top speed. You’ve got a full damn mile to accelerate as hard as you can, and when you’re done they give you a slip telling you how fast you crossed the [...]

We’ve been hearing about it for a while now, and finally some more details are forthcoming on the Cosworth STI. While it saddens me that the latest Cosworth road car won’t have a Ford badge on it, a Cosworth STI makes a lot of sense – a turbocharged, four wheel drive rally car are things [...]

Good news (if you live in Japan): Subaru has exposed its successor to the Impreza S203 and S204 special performance versions. It’s called the S205, it features a lot of new goodies and benefits from chassis, engine and styling upgrades. OK, so it’s home market only, but we can dream, can’t we? There’s the WRX, [...]

Subaru Introduces Not-So-Special-Edition STI for US Market

Subaru enthusiasts in the US market have been getting the short end of the stick for the better part of 2 decades. The WRX debuted in Japan in 1992, and as the Impreza GT in Europe in the same year.

Subaru Introduces Hardcore STi Spec C for Japan

There are a few things in this world you can truly count on. Death, taxes, partisan politics in the US, and special-edition Subarus come to mind. There have been a whole slew of special Subarus over the years, from the early STi’s to the P1′s and RB5′s and the 22b, up through modern ones like [...]

Top Ten: Great Sounding Engines

One topic that automotive enthusiasts can never seem to agree on is: what is the best-sounding car? I realize it’s a HIGHLY subjective field, and there isn’t a possible definitive answer. Everyone has different tastes in what sounds good -- heck, some people think Harley V-Twin’s sound good -- but I’ve compiled my top ten [...]
