At first I thought this was directed at me.

 

who cares he gets paid to drive...the shifting seems pretty smooth and throws seem very short on the new sti.

 

he's driven for subie before. he's still an awesome driver.

 

You must not have followed the WRC when he was still driving. He drove for Subaru after he drove for Mitsubishi. So he already was a traitor haha.

 

in case u miss WRC series =P

He's got his own Group N STi package for sale in Europe too: http://www.tommimakinen.net/

 

yup old news
awesome driver.

 

he thought he would be faster with the suby platform after mitsubishi changed his rally car to the CT9A body(or cedia body). he wasn't any faster than petter solberg. that was the demise of his rally career. he should have stayed with mitsu and tried out the CT9A for a few years.

 

7:55 is a great showing for the STI. Its sitting pretty with some serious competition. No "SE" package there

 

money talks BS walks

 

at this point in his career, yes. They paid him good money then and even made a car on his name to celebrate the wins. he wasn't even the 1st driver in the suby team then.
