Self fulfilling prophecy IMO. Why try to fix what ain't broke? They had a better car before they touched it.
EDIT: That video has been circulating around Subaru camps for at least a month and the drivers universally condemed.

Its not THAT bad of an idea what he did. A rear wheel drive car is going to be superior in more then a couple things... It could have been a very positive project.
The 'driving' though ... yeah .. ok thats not so good. He deserves that.
Dan, Your friendly neighbourhood asshole. 
I do installs and build FG stuff, pm me if you need help with anything. Im cheap.

hey I actually liked that scoobie, and I must say RWD is no match for AWD. The only reason you'd want RWD is to do burn outs cause if you have driven a AWD car you'd already know that it acts/reacts like a RWD car does for the most part, just easier to control.

that's austraila, not new zealand....
Subaru WRX STi Price.
2005 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STi are $64,990. NZ dollars, not including the taxes / delivery. base price of the WRX is 45,990. NZ dollars, plus taxes etc....
I was off by 30k, but I was making a guess as everyting costs more there as everything is imported there.
