Re: A sad announcement from GreenMarineSVX...

I'm not sure that Chris mentioned about all the STi's history, but to cap up some of the important accomplishments:

10th Place Overall at 2007 & 2008 Cannonball One Lap of America
1st Place Class 2008 Cannonball One Lap of America
(www.onelapofamerica.com/home.shtml)

3 Different Hillclimb Records including the first and currently only car with fenders to make up the 'Wolf' in under 2 minutes:
Records: http://www.wolfridgehillclimb.com/test/records.htm
Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...idge+hillclimb

(Don't think Chris knows this yet) The car is to appear in the March or April issue of Import Tuner magazine for the recent EVO vs STI shootout that we attended in Buttonwillow, CA last month. As a full true street car with moderate power, we got kind of beat up on, but all in all it was fun.

As well as: Numerous SCCA TT records, a bunch of regional autocross wins, one national tour win, 12th place 2006 SCCA solo nationals (STU), 2006 Doublecross challenge overall winner (Atlanta region SCCA).

As Chris had previously mentioned, this car has seen racing use since it was but a few months old. It has always been professionally prepared and maintained by myself and the Subaru gurus at www.boxer4racing.com. In fact, not sure if the owner of Boxer4Racing ever posted here, but he did once own an SVX (or 2 or 3), was the first to test drive the first one that arrived in Asheville, NC when they came out - and I'm trying to convince him to buy another one! The good news is, Chris got the car with about every major item being replaced or rebuilt within the last 5k miles - so it's a solid machine.
