So I was looking around on a VW site cuz I love a solid euro 'wagen and I'm in the market for a car these days and ended up stumbling upon this badboy... Now I'm not saying OMGZ THIS WILL EAT EVERY STI EVER BUILT!!! I know that would start an all out war cuz everybody loves Subies, don't get me wrong I like Subarus too, but this is a hell of a car... 500 horses and internals re-worked to take more boost... 4motion, which is just like the quattro system Audi has (part of the Volkswagen Auto Group) and one of the nicest exhaust notes I've heard in a while... If I wasn't in school and had $35,000 laying around I would open my wallet in a heartbeat....

sick looking car and the purr it makes is amazing! but 500hp to the front wheels? really? that seems a little foolish, and not to mention wasteful.

R32s are AWD.

Also, I'm not a fan of the bags.

This is something my buddy has always said as something of a joke and I kinda want to post it here

"Fuck GM, get a Ford. Fuck Ford, get a Dodge. Fuck Dodge, get a Honda. Fuck Honda, get a VW. Fuck Audi cause it is nothing more than a sexually confused VW that wants to be a Mercedes"

Yeah thats the only thing I would change... I mean it saves your oil pan and stuff when you're driving on shitty roads but I've always liked the coils over airbags

Anything can be done with money, and I guarantee this RS will smoke that VW.

i see that and raise you:

gutted EG hatch with 34 grand in motor work

gutted s14 with 34 grand in motor work


like honestly this could go on forever, the point is to have a nice car with all the amenities that is fast as well.  i dont care if your 2nd gen civic is the fastest car on the planet i'd still take my genesis over it.


the R32 is really nice, i'd probably rock it but i dont like that it is bagged nor do i like hatches in general.  but +++++ respect for the car, that thing is nice.

I've seen modified STI's with turbos at around 40 psi, that put out around 800chp.

Volkswagens beating Subys... please.

STI tuned by Crawford Performance making around 710whp. And this is just one of the many examples of Impreza's that can smoke anything else on the road.

No, Dykes.

Get a car that can go in more than six inches of snow and have a bike or a fast car for the summer.

Im sure that thing rips and I don't wanna start a "this is faster than that" war cuz everyone knows that'll never end but I love how clean that R32 looks and even tho I do really like scoobs, I am a big euro fan and a VW guy thru and thru

might have avoided a flame war by saying "look at this VW" instead of "fuck Subaru look at this VW"
but really a flame war would start anyways. i personally am a bigger fan of the subies but this is a sick VW no doubt.

I HATE when people say this.  You really have no idea what you are talking about.  Do some research before you jump allover a cars nuts.

My thinking?  Try hard facts.

But first:

https://www.newschoolers.com/web/content/viewvideo/id/166606/

And just so you know, that AWD system in Ken Block's subaru is the same AWD system as in the 4EAT WRX, which is a electronically controlled AWD system almost identical to the Audi and pretty much EXACTLY equal.  So before you go slobbing Audi's knob, do some research and suprisingly enough Subaru has an AWD system just as good...and that is just Subaru.  Do you want to look at even higher performance/luxury vehicles?  Cause many people use the same if not better system than Audi.  So many people are brainwashed in to the "Quattro is best!" mindset that it is ridiculous.

Just trying to stop the rampant ignorance on NS one post at a time.  Arrogant?  Perhaps...but so many people post crap that they have no idea what they are talking about.

1. if you're not gonna research stupid shit about cars then you shouldn't say Quattro blows away any AWD system on the market.
2. the bit about high performance cars came from you saying Audi has the best system on the market.
3. wtf is this about mercedes being crap unless it's AMG?

Not sure about the body, but each engine is assigned one Mercedes Engineer and that one person is the only one to touch the engine and build it by hand.

yea thats what I figured....I'm not a fan of Mercades usually but some of the AMG whips are legit.

if I were to get a High end euro it would be a 4 door M3 w/ a roof rack. But I love my Suby Outback wagon fitted with roof and bike racks gun metal wheels and made die-cuts.

If you want to talk horsepower just look up ANYTHING by Nelson Racing Engines. AKA a 454ci iron block twin turbo... oh and it's a pushrod V8

Prodrive P2 is so badass, too bad it is only a concept"

"Anti-lag something that noone can explain" haha not entirely true.  Anti-lag is a beast though, it destroys your engine pretty quick but your turbo is always spooled.  So badass.
