I've driven a few 2.0 Subarus in n/a, wrx, and sti format, and found the grip a revelation, and how long they hang on with some composure. The steering felt pretty dead and lifeless on most though, and they understeer a little bit close to the limit too I'd say.
0-60mph is a different ball game though even a 208bhp classic turbo will obliterate my Rover 220 0-60mph time as you gain more time from the launch than you lose through the massive transmission losses.
I've been told that if you floor a fwd car at say 70-100mph the 4wd cars like Lancers, and Impreza's often dissappear backwards?
Arry, I've driven all the greats of the Hot hatch/coupe world, Metro's, Astray GTE's, RST Escorts, Rover 220's, Calibra V6, a few Alfa's and a Mitsubishi GT0, Almera Gti, oh and a 4wheel steer Prelude too. 
What is this torsional rigidity you speak about though? 
I take it that these new Audi, Megane, Focus and Golf machines etc, don't spin the steering wheel lock to lock from every green traffic light? |
