Credit to Subaru and the massive set the driver has but I'm not sure I see the the relevance to.....anything. The car is a silhouette racer. It has as much in common with the road car on which it is based as a porcupine.

Oh I like that term!

Like an engine swapped Twin things reach a point where it should no longer be called the original name.

Check out this "86". I love listening to the engine winding up. It goes through 3, maybe 4 distinct stages. I'm guessing he's running a flexfuel kit and OFT or maybe even gone the whole way with Ecutek. I guess my car is just as fast because they look so similar. Well, at least the tail lights do.

As other mentioned, not relevant at all with the ordinary STI or even the STI Type RA.

Agreed. It's definitely a cool feat for Subaru, but I'd be more interested to see what the standard road car can do.

Though in all reality, there are so many factors to consider when a manufacture does one of these laps that it shouldn't really be taken with much more than a grain of salt.

Vehicle prep levels, drivers, weather conditions, etc. A small difference like that on such a long course like the Nordschleife equals a few seconds easily.
