>a race car is fast

Wow, no shit. How about something street legal with a warranty?

how are tuner cars relevant

Honestly really want to see what a GT4-spec Camaro can do.

>muh warranty

You people are the worst

>no warranty

What's being poor like?

Why don't you tell me, Hyundaishitter?

How is this record relevant to anything?
>fastest 4 door race car specially built for Nurburgring and not being run in any actual championships
What do I even compare it to?

Well its the only WRC-spec car to lap the ring as far as i know.

I want more race cars on the ring though. probably end up getting people killed if it got too competitive.

>WRC spec
Didn't Subaru dropped wrc and was gone for the global rallycross?

Oh, i guess you're right. are WRC cars more powerful than Global Rallycross?

>WRC spec
The engine is, that's it. The car is scraping dust off the road with its splitter, it's not a WRC car.

No interior, full cage, huge aero, insane tune...

This is exactly why ring times don't matter. Regulate that shit by specifying types of tires and class out all production cars so they can actually compete for something.

I think GRC are more powerful because of the races layouts. I think this year's GRC Subarus are at 600hp and the Fiestas at WRC are at 380hp.

Kudos to Subaru.

I have a 2004 WRX.

my mechanic who is supposed to be the Subaru specialist in my city that everyone online races on about and highly recommends.

he told my changing the water pump during the major service is nothing but a meme and that I should be more worried about changing the idlers when you do the timing belt

is he right about this? he says the water pump should pretty much last for ages and that the only reason people meme it online is because they sell aftermarket chink shit ones.

what are your thoughts?

>I want more race cars on the ring though
What is VLN

>4 doors

But does it have back seats? It's pretty pointless to have "4 doors" but still have only 2 seats.

my car cost - your car cost = I have money not you

>implying everyone on Veeky Forums is rich as fuck
Ok

>subaru wasn't relevant for some reason
>becomes relevant by setting a niche speed record at a single circuit

This is exactly why you are right

Better than the gtr

Bretty noice.

I'm amazed no one posted this yet. Shit's gold

>WRC-spec car
>like 2 inches of ground clearance and a bigass front splitter.

Yeah I'm sure that's rally spec and not at all tuned for circuit.

I haven't heard anything about water pumps. I would trust his judgement.
Idlers should always be done with timing belt. Especially on an interference engine.

How old are u

Quit being a cheap fuck and replace the pump.

Holy shit kys now

>chassis that can't compete in the wrc
>relevant
Pick uno

So this means Subaru will finally update the sti engine, right?

>normies

I can't wait to buy this car! It's nice to know Subaru puts all this effort into making an amazing car that the public can buy!
