I happen to think my WRX looks aggressive as hell.
Every time I see one going the opposite direction on the highway I see something aggressive and snorty... some sort of growling beastly thing.
functional hood scoops are great.
this is as opposed to sinuous and graceful looking curvey lines of the rx-8.
It's like comparing a badger to a panther.
and it is far far easier to make the WRX faster than it is to make the rx-8 faster.

I can see the same thing happening here.

I've decided - I'm gonna do some sort of torque PER TON AT THE WHEELS graph to try and debunk some of these myths once and for all. Be interesting to have 8 vs WRX vs TDi vs 350 vs a couple of other 14ish second cars doncha think?

Uhhh, why don't you just ask the numerous people that already paid for the Canzoomer and have it sitting in their garage rather than on their car what they think about it?
