	Same reason the rally editions put you on the dash under braking. No big
mystery here.  Lots to do with the fact that the wrx has a very good brake
design in a car weighing less than both the m3 and 911.    As for
tire/wheel. . . I seem to recall the control tire width for the tarmac
rally (group a) is something like 215.
