I can't possibly describe to you people what a Cosworth feels like. You simply have to experience it.

WRX STi Type R? Is there such a thing? Or is that a typo?

I think that is like a European or Japanese only model?

 

[Celerity]

The Japanese "Type R" everything, or at least, they used to.

The Suzuki Swift .. in Japan is known as the Suzuki Every.

EDIT: It's not the Every / Swift. It's the PopJoy Wagon.. and ....

The Every comes in ... get this...

Wagon R

Popjoy
Type R
Popjoy R
Popjoy R Type R
R type R

The Popjoy R Type R RR


I am NOT joking.

great now im wondering what was the car he was about to show,,,,and for the record as far as me,the sti version 5 type r, is the best sti ever made./2.5 rs

 

[Hasid Lafre]

The 2.5 RS coupe is weaksause, dosent even come turbocharged and has the weakest heads ive ever heard of.

Go Cosworth!

But the Type R sti is a very nice car. heavyer than the 22B but has been known to handel a bit better but not by much.

IMO the best suby made is the spec C. But iam a cosworth fan more than anything but sadly we dident get the cosworth here. This country sucks, we dont get the good cars.

 

[philyphreak2127]

I would drive the shit out of either car. I however have a soft spot for the body styling of the 2.5 rs.

they're totally awesome and easier to find than a 22b (and cheaper )



theres a guy in NH with a real deal Cosworth RS...white and its *really* nice

 

[jp_p5]

If they ever brought the Cosworth over i would save every penny to own one.

I test drove an XR4Ti up in your town last year... it was fully converted (Except still LHD). He even did the b pillar removal. Nice stuff.

He only wanted 8 grand for it too.
