i thought 22B meant 2door? thats why i say they look the best.

Subaru have at least 1 factory in USA. The first thing Toyota did with it, was to start pumping Camrys out of the Subaru factory, as the Kentucky factory was already at full capasity.
no 400 units. one fell off the boat so thats why people say 399.
a version 4 or 5 like i stated is a 2 door sti with a 2L. you can make them look like a 22b by adding widebody flares which are easily available aftermarket and a large wing. if you put a newer 2.5L in and do the suspension itll perform better than a 22b.
probably the best thing subaru has made but you can always hack a version 5 up in your garage to make it better.

The only reason why they are said to be the best thing ever, is because fuck all people have driven them, fuck all people own them, and fuck all people have actually ever seen the genuine article in the flesh.
I am confident in saying that you could build a wrx to out perform one in every sence of the word for under 70k including buying the car.
A customer at my work actually own's one, yeah its cool, and everything else, but its an investment and thats it, that all these cars will ever be, they hardly get driven, hardly get driven like they were built for, so in my eyes they aren't worth having for anything more than an investment.
And if you wanna talk about whats the best car subaru has ever built, take a step back to the early 90's and the rs turbo liberty, cause with out that, there would be no wrx, no 22bs, and no sexy gt libertys
do it nick. do it now and post picks. then we'll all be happy
I'll help ya out nick, theres better options available, let me know when ya wanna go fast lol.
none of the original equipment would conform to todays standards.
just dream talk here but if they make a refreshed exterior, 2zzgze(lotus exige S engine), updated suspension (IRS etc), new interior, air con, abs, air bag and ofcourse only in manual.
at a competitive price it'd probably do pretty well in sales. id buy one in a heart beat if they were made somewhat like that
are you talking porsche? if so, you mean flat 6...
personally this thread seems pretty vague on evidence... hope it goes ahead and all but yeah.... this'd be the 461st "new 86" thread so far.
negative posts aside, the hyundai offering seems more likely to be on sale before obama's second term. It will sell like the proverbial hotcake if it does land here. Lets face it the koreans are approaching jap quality, and those Tiburons were hot. They just had shit motors and front wheel drive. Point the motor north south, and give that puppy some power.... it'd be cheap too.... god would it sell. mark my words y'all

Unless he means ye olde VWAgree that Porsche has probably spent the longest time and most Deutchmarks/Euros/Dollar$ developing the horizontally opposed engine for performance cars.
