Speaking of modern super cars, I had the chance to try out my friends
Subaru Imprezza. Yeah the one with half the alphabet added to the tail.
Talk about smiles per mile. 300HP from 2.5 liters of flat four, six
speed, all wheel drive, no torque steer,four wheel discs, recaro style
wrap-around seats and a GO pedal that knows the meaning of the word
plus a stop pedal that works very well indeed.
Step on it hard and it lurches forward up to 3000 rpm then the
afterburner kicks in!!!!
Truly frightening!! But FUN!!!
Yeah I know, the top doesn't fold and the whale tail is a bit goofy (He
removed it and the badging and is working on the hood scoop. Can anyone
spell "sleeper") but boy is it a driver's car. And yes, it can be
driven sedately with the wife and 2 kids.
There is definitely something to be said for modern technology.
Cheers
