I drove the Subaru WRX STI on several occasions this summer as well as some of the competition. My initial afternoon drive took place in late June – a local ride and drive event on some excellent twisty roads I was well acquainted with. A couple weeks later, I had an obsidian black pearl 2008 press vehicle for a week, followed in early October by a track day at the Mosport International Raceway in some 2009 models.
This year is the 20th anniversary for STI, which for the uninitiated is short for Subaru Technica International Inc., the motorsports division of Subaru. Having been involved with British rally specialist Prodrive and the Subaru World Rally Team since the late 1980s, STI is also responsible for transforming normal WRXs into ultra high-performance machines.
