They've been doing that 4evAr ... Its just an ESX packed STi .. ESX had been working with my old Subaru Dealer ever since the WRX came out ...

I guess it finally got some attention in magazines =P

i think if anything Mits will do the same with something like Vishnu... since ESX isnt a branch of Subaru so Ralliart isnt really going to get involve in this one, although it would be nice if ralliart made some effort to help out the USDM evos, oh say... dealer packages???

Vishnu has actually started a thread to judge interest about Vishnu modded Evo's at the dealer.

Also, isn't the Ralliart affiliation in the UK being dissolved?

Until I see this Subaru make these numbers and someone actually buys one and proves I dont belive it for one second. After reading this article I was laughing they showed a shot of the engine bay and it basically looked stock even had the scoobie stock air box. The little white stripes are pretty. Anyone who buys this car is wasting there money I think its going to run around $45 to $48 grand. This is C6 price range, or a really really nice STI that you could pick up off the lot for $30 grand easy and then go dump 16 grand into on how you want it to perfrom and look. So as you can tell I think this is just a marketing plea for some rich guy who wont even apprecaite the car. If you have $46k to spend on a car you odviously dont care that much about a warranty because odds are you have the bling to fix what ever you break in the first place. And just to add I hope Mitsu's answer would be a FQ 400 who needs Vishnu when we could have it. Then I would laugh my *** off at anyone who bought this car for sure.

And I just thought of this as well that is just 425 at the crank not even WHP. You can pick up a used evo or sti right now for 25K like I did and have 425 at the crank for just a few grand or if its already mod'd you are set.


waste of time and money...,

its very doubtful they will bring to the US a FQ400... first of all its super rare and it is close to $80,000. Plus it would never pass emissions crap here.
Vishnu would be good as a dealer installed thing... that is if Mits can get themselves out of the hole they are in.
