Hello from Subaru High Performance Product Training
Well, I'm now half way through my Subaru Product training on the new Models. I've just retired to my hotel room. Today we focused on the WRX STi. Tomorrow we have more STi stuff, and Baja Turbo and Forester Turbo stuff.
I must say SOA has really done a great job with these training things. I'm very impressed with the level of detail that subaru has gone to in order to have us learn as much as we can about the cars. We got professional high performance driving instruction today on the STi's, and took them for runs around a road course and everything. I've been snapping more pictures than my camera can handle. I've attached a hilight.

 How the F***  did you get a job like that???? When I opened that picture I felt my stomach tie up as I counted 5 STi's !!!! That's just wrong Mike, you shouldn't go posting about that kind of stuff here... Some of us have jobs that we hate and I would KILL to have a job that I could drive STi's, and get paid!!! Whatever though, Someone has to protect your ass while you go and have fun, I guess that is the businuess that I am in........  But it's ok, because I got to ride in an R33 Skyline while I was in Australia so HA!!!

the worst about the training that he's at is is that those sti's will be chopped up and destroyed completely afterward, there's provbably more than 5 sti's there, and as many forrester 2.5t's and baja 2.5t's

Sad day
Yes...it's a sad day when test/training cars are destroyed. Not too long ago, Nissan destroyed a yellow Skyline GT-R34 that they had used for development work. They destroy lots of test vehicles every year for liability reasons
