NEW LIFE TO THE VIDEO GALLERY

Well done. Mark Higgins and Subaru. That video made my day.

I like how the vid says, "this footage was NOT speeded up"

so for you MS guys with STIs who just can't help modding the crap out of the car, remember that this was a STOCK drivetrain. Sure, the car had a cage and beefed-up suspension, but that's it. so no more whining about "how my STI just isn't all that fast."

no brake upgrade other than pads. But factory pads wouldn't have lasted 3 turns before fading into oblivion.

The WRX STI was a production US spec car running a standard 305 HP turbocharged boxer engine. Some safety modifications were made. The Subaru was equipped with a Lifeline fire suppression system, Hockley Motorsports roll cage, motordrive competition seats, Mintex brake pads (but stock calipers and rotors), and a louder open exhaust to warn spectators of the on-coming car. The speed limiter was turned off to allow a higher maximum speed; off-the shelf Tien springs and dampers were added to accommodate the numerous high-speed jumps on the circuit, sending the WRX STI almost four feet off the ground. The car ran on street legal Pirelli P Zero Trofeo tires.
