Gotta love that purple interior. I remember the car and comments from those who saw it - "Naw, really, what is it?" "Yes, a Subaru!" Some things never change.

Nice article. They must have moved the battery to the trunk
I'd love to see what they actually did with the exhaust system and exactly what the switches on the dash actually controlled. It looks like they violated a cardinal rule of harness anchoring - i.e. it looks like they anchored them on the floor behind each front seat -Bill

Pretty sure the switches are for fuel cutoffs and stuff, they mentioned it in the article.

more switches there than points mentioned in the article...it is interesting that they mentioned fuel cutoff, as the car already has a built-in fuel cut off if the the car rolls. -Bill

Yeah, this section of the write-up caught my eye --
Preparation for racetrack duties came at the hands of Roush Industries in Michigan. “The car remained amazingly stock,” explained Banowetz. “FHI provided struts and springs for a tighter and lower handling package. The brakes, wheels, engine, and transmission received no modifications. The muffler was changed to add to the excitement factor. Other changes were for safety and the attention-getting appearance.” note the statement that the engine received no modifications.... -Bill

Weren't some people on this site claiming this was twin turbocharged, or something? I remember that, vaguely. Well, in any event, they were wrong, like I had suspected. The engine is stock.

I asked the redneck beer-drinkin' fried chicken eatin' local mechanic to put the car up on the lift to see where my exhaust was leaking from - he immediatly inquired as to the 'twin-turbo version' of the car, and was kinda disappointed when I told him it didnt exist... at least he knew it was a Subaru, which surprised me
