I think you're right, and if you could get your hands on a 22b motor, you could drop it right into your WRX. Hell, if I had the money I could update my car to Cobra-R spec - 351c.i. motor with 300hp & I-don't-know-how-much torque straight from the factory, let alone if you free it up with good intake and exhaust.

Hell the C5-R was just another "model" of the Corvette, right... granted it was a limited run of 4 hand built race cars for ALMS, but it was still a "Factory Vette". Shit, John Force's funny car is a "Mustang", does that mean you can drop that motor in you car, Austin?  If you're going to allow other countries models, where do you draw the line? What if I wanted to put a Holden V8 in my Cavalier, would that be legal? |
All I can say is any one of the above...
WOULD KICK ASS!
