Lol..you guys sound like typical close minded fan bois. I understand this is a subaru board and you have subaru pride, but the MS3 is a great platform, whether you want to admit it or not.

I really think subaru took a step back with the 08.

OK, but still not better than the WRX platform, that is my only point

Really? Why? Because it's AWD?

Why's AWD neccessarily better? Note I said neccessarily. It's not. If you look at SCCA rally even open class are won by FWD cars all the time. What's all the buzz about John Sheppherd? Because he's going 7's with AWD and normally AWD becomes a handicap for drag racing and the majority of people ditch it when they go super high powered.

Now, I think the WRX is better because because compared to FWD cars when you go up to 4-500hp in this car it's got good traction and very controllable compared to RWD cars at the same power level on street tires. But the cast majority of wrx owners don't mod their wrx for very much power, so this doesn't matter.
