Impreza GT for track

[Dseries]

Hi all,

 

I'm currently in research phase of my next car. Impreza GT is one of the few possibilites. Although, the subaru club in my country told me not to buy a GT for intensive track use. What is your opinion about this? They feared the drivetrain would not take the abuse.

 

Cheers,
Martin

We don't get a gt here , is it a turbo ?

Saw loads of imprezas when I was there earlier this year

It is the GC chassis with a 2 litre turbo, producing 211 - 218 hp (depending on facelift).

 

Edit: it is like a wrx version.

Yeah perfect for track mate given mine a few track days

Eats tyres , brakes and clutches

That's the least of my concerns. If the drivetrain can endure the hard track days, then it's all good. I mainly think about a GC impreza, or a dc2 integra. Thanks for the advise, though. It feels like one step closer to the decision.

Yeah you won't have many issues and upgrades are reasonable

yup I think you will looking at chassis changes before drive train for serious track fun - suspension, ARB's brakes etc
