Marry that to our proven AWD system, and we think we have a winner,” explains our source.

The source continued further: "That's why we have focused so heavily on weight issues, not to mention a shorter wheelbase that permits faster, more precise turn-in. Marry that to our proven AWD system, and we think we have a winner." Subaru plans on competing the new WRX in domestic rallies as well as in the Europe's World Touring Car Championships. Their sights are on a long-awaited return to the WRC.

Whether the WRX will stage a comeback to the WRC is undecided, but Subaru did say that we can expect to see the car in competitive events from road racing to rallying.

I'm not expecting a car that comes off the assembly line with coilovers ready to handle stage events, or 24 hours of a track. (Nor did i say or imply that)

I'm saying a known geometry design of the suspension that causes a lot of failures should be avoided.
And some cars are designed to go racing (Ferrari , Miatas, Porsche)

you know the whole mazda "zoom zoom" and "more mazdas are raced on any given weekend than any other car"
the car designers are embracing the fact that their cars get raced. they are not designing race cars, but they are keeping motorsports in mind.

Am i saying that you pick up the keys from the dealership and your car is race ready? NO people, quite being ass holes to me


What i'm saying is certain cars have motorsports in mind when they are designed. you still have to swap out the dampers, springs, tires, brake pads, and add a roll cage. but some cars have thought put into them , so that its Easier to get into racing.

SINCE EVERYONE IS TRYING SO HARD TO READ INTO MY POSTS.. ARG!!! LET ME SPELL IT OUT

I WANT SUBARU TO THINK ABOUT MOTORSPORTS AND TRY TO MAKE IT LIGHTER, EASIER TO WORK ON, AND SUSPENSION GEOMETRY THAT MAKES SENSE FOR WHAT THEY RACE IN.
