New 2nd Car

Having had a Cobra for a few years now one car always left me standing at the lights; a Subaru WRX (Attitude cars).

So I went out and bought a Clubspec 9 to see what they are really like.

Well, I must admit I am very impressed - Quick, bloody quick and no wheel spin!! With 200HP and awd it is a potent little beast.

Handling is also impressive; sticks like glue.

I know you true blues like your V8's, but this thing is the business (as standard - well sort of!).

Cobra now spending even more time in the garage.

I've driven a 2006 STi Imprezza. Yep bloody good piece of equipment.

I'm amazed you resisted the urge sufferred by most Cobra owners to mod your 302 instead to beat that pesty WRX!

No matter what i could do with the Cobra, handling in a 2wd is no comparison to a rally bred Subie

For sheer umphhh its still the Cobra, but on a rainy day (not many of those around) then the wrxie comes into its own.

The STI at $58k was a little pricey, but at least I share its chassis and suspension setup
