Reading Dan Sinclair's assessment of the WRX seemed pretty accurate and ironic,
as I borrowed a WRX from a rally friend today and was going to write the list
about it!

The car I drove had over 14,000km on it..and I think Dan Simoes' comments are
somewhat correct...the WRX I was driving felt a quite good.

In the afternoon I put our new 3" cat-back exhaust prototype on the car...and
wow! Things really started to happen!

The WRX owner commented as follows:

Car pulls much stronger
Car used to run out of breath at 6000rpm...now pulls past 7200rpm
Far more power as measured through the butt dyno.

Hmmm...makes me think all you lucky turbo Audi owners need to upgrade your
exhuast systems!!
