Now don't get me wrong, I love the WRX, but #21 above a Lamborghini Gallardo, Dodge Viper, and BMW M5, I find hard to believe.

I didn't know much about the F1 until reading that page about some of the features and how it came to be. Really interesting.

I have a feeling that it was more then just power numbers. It was cars that brought change. The WRX brought back the glory days of car companies saying to each other “my d**k is bigger than yours”. And they did it for under 30k. With out the WRX do you think the EVO would be here? How about the R32? And lets face it the WRX showed Dodge that turbos are wanted by the masses.
Now if Ford would just open there eyes, pull there head out of their **** and give Americans a AWD, 250+ hp Focus. Cause I know it would sell.

As for your list don’t get me wrong those are all nice cars but how many "every day" people will ever drive one?

Look on the bright side, we beat the EVO... and the SRT-4 was what number?

Totally true..I honestly don't (didn't) know much about the WRX or the wave of change it brought. Thanks for enlightening me!

it cost what $800,000 when it came out.
any car at that price would be the bomb.

throw $775,000 in to a (streetable) WRX and see what you can get....

You'd get a stupid fast car - probably not capable of hitting McLaren F1 speed and control, but you'd have $500,000 grand in the trunk.
