I miss mi GC

I miss my old tricked out GC... A LOT

I got to drive my RS today rather than taking my STi. There are so many little things that you dont get with the style, size, weight, and with minor tunes such as sway bars, stiff coil overs, corner banlacing...

You can throw that car around corner after corner with the slightest of ease, it's sooo much fun in rain, dirt or dry its wonder why subaru didn't make the 2010 model a retro model of the 22b and griyo N cars of your choice... Raaaaaarrrrr


A man can hope right< **** would fly of the dealer floors like crazy!

I agree with you completely. After getting an RS after my 02 WRX it was such a different car. I felt the lightness through the corners, and the huge difference a front swaybar made. The only thing I missed about the WRX was the ease of aftermarket parts.

I think the GC body style is too young to make a "reto" model. Perhaps they should bring back the SVX.

yeah at 17 years old, the GC is young. And hells yeah this car has an awesome feel, especially with turbo power. And in the snow it nets you 45mph speeding tickets through chain control.

Engine transplants for life

If my car was running I'd say we should have a swapped GC meet. Since I'm sure there are a lot of us that did it DIY, we could share ideas and our experiences. stg2lgcy, I'm running the same setup as you:

yea grizzly is a nice chill spot, the road is too short for me to like, and the pavement has been really beat up lately. redwood rd ftw! and mt hammy has good views also. palomares somewhat of the valley, havent been on calaveres and crow canyon yet needa check it out.
