How else can you get objective analysis? For crying out loud, Oz, you're the person who first compared the cars. Then when I show you *evidence* that the WRX is superior, you cry out that you can't compare them! No wonder we don't take you seriously. If the Verada/Magna setup was that good, it'd be used in competition in it's relevant class - like the very good production racing series that you'll find around Australia, up against it's rivals from Ford and Holden. But it isn't. Why? Because it's simply not the great chassis that you think it is. Now, all I expect you to do is try to twist out of this, rather than respond with constructive argument. Cheers, Steve

You stated that the WRX was no world beater. I commented on it's WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORIES. You "countered" with the fact that Lancia had more championships under its name. Big woop de doo. The WRX didn't race against Lancia - they'd left the championship after the Delta Integrale was no longer competitive. And none of this is in any way relevant to the fact that the WRX has WON world championships. How anyone could suggest that it isn't a "world beater" is beyond me, because that's exactly what it's done. Beaten everyone else in the world. > > and quite frankly "we" weren't comparing the WRX with the Verada. You're right. No one in their right mind would do so. So far the only person here that thinks they should be compared is you. > > BTW have you ever driven either? Not the AWD Verada. > Cheers, Steve

A horse goes where it wants to go, when it wants to go there. Even the best trained horse can be a PITA when out of it's element (Literaly). As for comfort, yes a horse can be comfortable but every time I spend 8 hours in the saddle (been a while now) I'm glad to get down and have a break, I supose the car is the same but for completely diferent reasons. : Unfortunately ONE of the classes that I raced in was Sports Racinng : Closed.
