<a href="/featuredvehicles/130_0811_2009_subaru_impreza_wrx_and_25gt/index.html">We test out the new 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX And Impreza 2.5GT. While equipped with the turbocharged Boxer engine it's not neck-breaking fast, but zippy.</a><p>When we reached our last and final testing zone, we met two of Subaru's former rally team drivers and support crew at a pseudo-rally course (remember what I said about open roads? This is it.) where a lightly modified (ie; gravel wheel/tire combo and front mudflaps only) WRX was waiting for us to play rally racer. Set up with a mic'd helmet and strapped in with a 5-point harness, I felt like a way uncooler version of Travis Pastrana. With my seasoned driver as my co-pilot, I attacked the course, taking note of his direction as we slid through blind corners, brushed up against tree branches and left behind a cloud of dust so thick it was a necessity to wait until it cleared before turning back. Opposed to the autocross, I really got to test out the WRX's controls and its sense of balance, riding on terrain that would not be possible unless having the features a WRX does. To see it push so hard in stock form is amazing - and this isn't even the STI! And to see a professional push it even harder? We both laughed when I asked probably the stupidest question he'd heard all day, when I asked how fast he had taken the WRX to on this makeshift course. He said, "I don't know. I'm too busy having fun with my eyes on the road." Words can't even begin to describe how bad f'in ass the car is. Thank you, Subaru, for delivering the goods.</p>
