Ah yes Mr Clarkson and his witty quips...
Thanks for posting this I enjoyed it a lot.
Matt,
You are more likely to have fun going around corners in your WRX than a Cobra!!! I know as I've owned the UK version of the WRX and a couple of Legacy Turbos. In fact I'm tempted to switch out my daily driver for the new STI - not that there are many roads with corners in Houston, but you get what I mean! I love Subarus.
I'm not sure what the 0-60 is these days for a WRX, but for my '98 UK 220HP Impreza Turbo, it was 5.4 seconds. My cobra is about 3.8 seconds with 470HP, depending on wheelspin etc. The Impreza is hugely forgiving - the cobra doesn't forgive and prefers to be pointed in a straight line before applying significant pressure to the loud pedal.
Just thought I'd pass this on!
