I love the look of the hatch. Especially in rally livery. But I am missing the front hood scoop. The hood scoop is a Subie calling card and is sadly missed in the new Impreza WRC 2008. Anyways, let’s get to the specs. In motorsports there are most certainly restrictions, on weight, on intake, on hp, etc. So this car makes a meek 300hp. But, it also makes 479 lb-ft tq at 3,000 rpm. Holy crap. Check out the full specs after the jump.
