Do I try something new, or do I settle for one of the best cars ever made? It looks amazing (known as the last true M car) and it wouldn’t look out of place whether you’re thundering around a track or pulling up to a restaurant.īugger, I don’t know.
#Super gramps subaru serial
They are fantastic machines and offer optimum driver satisfaction, but they do look a little OTT with it’s serial killer face and giant rear wing. So the EVO then? Well yes, but I don’t want to be that guy in town who has the EVO. But them every time you change the M3’s boots, you’re looking at a grand, and should the SMG system go wrong, well, you could probably buy another EVO for the cost of repair. The EVO involves many oil changes and the AYC (Active Yule Control) needs a lot of servicing. The EVO VI was a 0-60 in 4.4 seconds straight out of the box rally car. It doesn’t have loads of numbers after its name or come in different specs. I don’t like any of the others – if you were to offer me a brad new EVO X or a mint VI or the TME (Tommi Makkinen edition), I’d take the VI hands down.
So if I don’t buy a Subaru Hawkeye STI, I’m torn between another M3 or… the EVO. Some people didn’t like the SMG paddles, but I loved them straight away and liked the settings option. You could lose the rear slightly and know it wasn’t going to come around on you. It spat out automotive cuss words when you floored it, rather than rumble or burble. That thing was angry and sounded pissed too. The most satisfying car apart from my current ride was the e46 BMW M3. I’ve done everything from Citroen to Mercedes, Alfa to Maserati. They sound nice, handle really well, and considering they are performance cars, they are fairly economical in parts and fuel. I’ve owned a wagon and currently own a Prodrive 245-bhp WRX. Now I will begin by saying that I adore Subaru and their WRX. The aim is to make it even quicker, to hit the 11 second mark – that’s damn quick for a wagon they affectionately call “Gramps”.Ĭheck out Gramps and tune in to see what this rather affable vehicle will be capable of. It’s a wagon (with the help of STI components) that can already hit the 1/4 mile in 11.9 seconds.
These funny Aussies know a thing or three about building a sleeper, and Marty has revealed his new Subaru project.
#Super gramps subaru mods
To any readers into this sleeper business, I was happy to find the latest edition of Mighty Car Mods on YouTube. I love this concept and will build one at some point in my life – perhaps dumb down a wagon of some sort. You see, there’s something smug about out-dragging a Porsche in something deemed only fit for a run to the shops. Remove the badges, grills and actually disguise the big exhaust? What, are you crazy? You either get them and understand the need to drive a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or you simply can’t understand why you would dumb a performance vehicle down. If you follow my blog you’ll come across some sleeper posts every so often.
